As hot as it has been during the last few weeks, I'm sure Manhattan residents will be far from tempted to drink from the UNICEF Dirty Water vending machines. That fact alone brings a pang to my heart because there are people in the world that don't have the luxury of choice. This campaign brings awareness to this sad fact and more.
The UNICEF Dirty Water campaign focuses on eight common diseases that plague third world countries. For only a dollar, people can purchase a diseased drink, which will go to providing clean water to those that need it.
