H2oAlliance Celebrates the Holiday Season by Launching the Water Ambassador Initiative for 2009
December 8, 2008, Helsinki, Finland --- In an effort to help children and families in need for safe and clean drinking water and promote world peace, H2oAlliance partners in Finland have launched a new Water Ambassador program for 2009. H2oAlliance team in Finland today announced this unique industry-led initiative to encourage and enable individuals to take action in their own companies and communities worldwide. The initiative engages H2oAlliance's global network of individuals, companies and organizations to raise awareness, encourage investment and donations to the UNICEF waterfund and AFRICARE, promote education and implement local water projects.
Awareness and education can reduce conflicts and improve the availability of clean and safe drinking water. "We need to make people aware of the world water crisis, and how they can help. Communication and collaboration will promote world peace and understanding between people and nations. This program was initiated by our team in Finland, who were inspired by the Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari, the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize winner, for his work on several continents for over three decades to resolve international conflicts. His efforts have contributed to a more peaceful world and to build a fraternity between nations in Alfred Nobel's spirit. We want to continue his valuable work to the world", said Minna LeVine, Water Ambassador Program Administrator, H2oAlliance Global.
