Through this inter-schools exhibition, many children and teenagers from different schools of Machala will have the opportunity to show our drinking water situation with an approach in sanitation and health, especially in children, by doing a scientific research to propose viable ways to save water and to improve sanitation; and to express their ideas about the topic by creating poems, making cards and posters, drawing pictures and singing songs.

This WWD 2008 event in the British Alliance ELT Centre, Machala-El Oro, Ecuador is part of the European Students' Media Project in which UNICEF Ecuador and the local German radio station Rasant and eight secondary schools from different countries work together.The development of this exhibition and other important events around the world will be reported on a special radio broadcast on 20 March that is being prepared by Radio Rasant, Sundern, Germany, as a contribution to World Water Day 2008.
