One dollar provides forty days of clean drinking water

WDEF's Joe Legge reports on an effort by area restaurants to raise awareness (and a few bucks) for UNICEF's clean water program. Participating eateries will charge one dollar for a glass of water.

For every dollar raised, UNICEF will provide clean drinking water to a child in a third world country for 40 days. [...] According to UNICEF, [w]ater-related diseases are the second largest killer [of] children under the age of 5.
