Letters to the EditorWater Aid
Dear Sir, As a public relations exercise, "Thames Water "in the U.K., has set up a Web Site , associated with "Water Aid" a registered charity . Thames Water have agreed to donate 150,000 English pounds (which will provide safe drinking water for Life to 6000 people in Africa and Asia), if they have 2 000 000 , visitors to their Web Site over the next 12 weeks . As it only takes a few seconds to visit the site at www.givewater.org , and as the number visitors has already reached almost 1.5 million perhaps you and your readers could assist in this venture,by visiting this Web Site. In fact, would it not be an excellent Public Relations exercise for Worker Online / Labor Council to organise a similar venture with Sydney Water? If all Union members set their default homepage to start at : www.givewater.org , by going to this site , then clicking on Tools button on the tool bar , then Internet options , then general options , then click the use current button. This will start their Web Browser at this site. Two Million hits, I think we could do better than that?
