* CHILDREN SING FOR WATER is a brand new sing thing from WaterAid. If you're at school and would like your year group or class to take part in Children Sing For Water find out more (and hear one of the brand new songs) here!
* On Saturday 15 September, over 600 people put their best foot forward to raise money for the WaterAid at 2007's Coast Along event in SW England.
* On Sunday 30 September olympic Gold medal man James Cracknell ran the Great North Run for WaterAid!
James ran the 20 kilometre route to raise money and awareness for WaterAid. Many women and children in the developing world walk the same distance as the Great North Run every day, to collect water that is often disease ridden and unsafe to drink. WaterAid can provide someone with safe water and sanitation for just £15. Find out more and sponsor James here.We survived Glastonbury!
