The WorldChangers Market is back on!
WorldChangers Market is a way that everyday shoppers can positively impact the world's poorest people! It is held this Friday 30th March from 530 - 9pm at Wollongong Church of Christ. So stop on by and remember to purchase at bottle of Water For Water while you are there.

 

Today is World Water Day and we wanted to introduce you to Josephine.

Josephine Romero is 45 years old and has lived in Caloocan City, Philippines her whole life.

Including Josephine 9 people live in her house: 3 young kids and 5 adults, which is a typical Filipino household.

Every week her whole family consumes 3-4 containers of water, which is approximately 70 litres of water that they receive from the Caloocan City Water For Water station. An average Australian will use this amount on just a single shower!

Josephine's husband recently died due to sickness and she now more than ever understands the importance of good health for her family. We spoke to Josephine about what having clean water means to her.

"As a Grandma I believe that clean drinking water is vital to my grandchildren's growth and health. Clean water decreases chances of being sick and hospitalised. I do all I can to preserve my family's health”

Josephine's family like many others in the Philippines use clean water for drinking, cooking and cleaning vegetables. Without access to clean water Filipinos make do with boiling water or alternatively drink un-clean-water from taps. Water is life, and Josephine's family now has the opportunity to have a healthy life.

Buy purchasing a bottle of Water For Water from any Gloria Jean's Coffee house throughout Australia you are helping people like Josephine and her family get access to clean safe drinking water.

 

This is Jason who works at the Water For Water Caloocan City water station out on a water delivery within the community. Thanks Jason for all your hard work!

Josh Lawson’s In the Raw script reading of “The Little Death” was staged at Cockatoo Island on Tuesday 21st February. The Little Death is a wickedly funny exploration of the five different lives of five different couples and the five different fetishes that make them…well, different.
Celebrated actors Susie Porter (East West 101, RAN), Bob Franklin (Thank God You’re Here, The Librarians), Damon Herriman (J. Edgar, Wilfred, Rake) and Don Hany (Offspring, East West 101) were cast for the live reading.

Thank you to the team at Cockatoo Island Film Festival for asking Water For Water to be apart of the night…check out some pictures from the live reading (and spot our bottles of water as well!)
