A United Nations Peace Child International project in collaboration with HYDROAID
22nd March, World Water Day 2007: Launch booklet in New York

Water is the theme of this year's Human Development Report (HDR) - probably the most famous, and most widely read document published by the United Nations every year.
But the reports are not widely read by young people, which is why the United Nations invited the young people of Peace Child’s global network and HYDROAID to create a short summary of it.
HYDROAID then invited young people around Italy to write first-hand reports, paint pictures, take photographs, write poems and stories to reflect their feelings about these issues. They contributed with stories, paintings and poems about water to a full colour, illustrated 28-page booklet. It has been distributed around the world: in English, French and Spanish on World Water Day March 22nd 2007.
All contributors got a certificate and the best contributions were printed in the booklet. The best contributors were given an all-expenses paid trip to the United Kingdom to work with the talented team of young people and UN officials at the Peace Child International Centre to edit the final booklet.
