Today is World Water Day. Launched by United Nations General Assembly it was first celebrated in 1993. The main purpose of this holiday is to draw attention to the plight of millions of people who lack clean drinking water. Just as important as a lack of drinking water is the lack of proper sanitation procedures.

There are many organizations that support this cause. Water Aid is one of the largest. Other groups include Care, Ethos water, and Unicef. I encourage all people to check their local event calendars to find out about a walking event in support of this noble cause. We tend to take water for granted; we must remember that all people should have the same basic necessities as us.
