Many people are thinking that it’s not much they can do to help poor people in the world, so they just don’t care. But in our class 9A we are trying to help. We are selling small blue water drops. We are 27 in our class and we are selling 5 pair each. They cost 25 kr and from this we get 5 kr and 20 kr go to Unicef. Unicef is helping people all over the world and the money that we collect goes to Ethiopia so the people can get clean water. Only 22% of the households have clean water and only 17% have access to a working toilet. Many people get sick when they drink the dirty water. The people that get sick has to be carried to the closest hospital and for the little boy Salemu it means 17 km. It takes 15 to 20 men that take turns to carry the patient. Some kids can’t go to school because they have to go and get water. The journey can be long and risky.
If you wear a drop, you even wear an important message: Clean water is a human right!
