 FACE Africa/ Tap Project Dinner at Exchange Street Bistro – March 2008
In March 2008, FACE Africa participated in a UNICEF grassroots initiative to provide clean and safe water to children around the world. The TAP Project simply invited individuals to donate $1 for the clean drinking water usually served for free when they visit participating restaurants during World Water Week, from March 16 – March 22, 2008. All funds collected went to support UNICEF water programs. We worked hard to raise awareness of the Tap Project and to recruit restaurants to participate. FACE Africa also organized a dinner party on World Water Day, March 22nd, that was attended by over 40 people who all generously donated to the Tap Project.
