Tap Project

If you haven't heard of Unicef's Tap Project yet, listen up. The deal is Unicef designates a week (world water week in march) where instead of getting tap water for free at your local restaurant, you would be charged a dollar and that money will be collected and used to provide water for those in need all over the world. Other than just raising money, a main point of this project is to raise awareness of how valuable clean drinkable water is in the world. Our school's chapter of Amnesty is trying to set it up in Pittsburgh. When it was first run it was only New York and a few hundred restaurants participated, raising a few hundred thousand dollars but now major cities across the nation are participating and hopefully raising even more.
