31st May: WaterAid Supporters at Chapter Arts

The event at Chapter Arts on the 31st May was a great success; following the film we conducted some children’s activities involving climate change and the importance of clean water.

For example children had carry a five litre container of water around the area in front of the entrance to see how heavy it was, and a surface water drainage model the children had to empty a litre of water into the model and see how much was absorbed by the grass and then do it again when the grass was replaced by buildings to see the difference it made.

While these activities were underway WaterAid Cardiff volunteers were on hand to promote WaterAid and answer questions from parents.

If you would like to take part in a similar event (we always need more volunteers to help!) or have any ideas to raise money and promote WaterAid, please get in touch- we’d love to hear from you.
