World Water Day is on Monday, March 22nd, 2010 and is a crucial moment in the fight against the global water and sanitation crisis that effects thousands of people every single day. Live Earth's NGO partners are organizing many of the events taking place on World Water Day around the world. No matter where you are in the world you can bring awareness to World Water Day!
If there are no major Live Earth events in your area then register your own! Registering an event with Friends of Live Earth is a great way to involve your friends, family, school, or community in global, environmental action to help solve the global water crisis. After registering, you'll gain access to a package of background materials, event guidelines, and suggestions for how to host a green event.
One of the amazing Friends of Live Earth Run for Water events will be taking place in Lima, Peru. They are expecting more than 5,000 participants to attend this run/walk as the event takes them through the streets of one of the nicest neighborhoods along the pacific ocean in Lima, Miraflores. The celebration for water resource awareness will continue right after the race with a mega live music concert, featuring the best local artists and compositors.
