Description
Poster focusing on water shortages, encouraging young people to reflect on their lives and those of their peers. Size A1, reference YEP1302, available to purchase through online shop. Text reads: 'Everybody needs water. But not everybody gets the same amount. And it doesn't come from the same place.' There is a comparison between Chloe, aged 11 from the UK and Viey Savet, aged 12 from Cambodia who are pictured in the poster. Chloe is quoted as saying: 'I wash, clean my teeth and drink water from the tap. I fill the cat's bowl with water and boil water to make my mum a cup of tea.' Viey Savet is quoted as saying: 'Our water comes from the lake. We bathe and brush our teeth with water from the lake. My parents boil the water for cooking.'
