May 2003BOURNEMOUTH & WEST HANTS. WATER SPONSORS CHILDREN'S COMPETITION IN SCHOOLS
Cascal owned, BOURNEMOUTH AND WEST HAMPSHIRE WATER sponsored a local primary school competition. The theme was "drinking water" and the regional winning entries will be published in a book where all proceeds will go to the UK "Wateraid" charity.
"WaterAid is the UK's only major charity dedicated exclusively to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene promotion to the world's poorest people. WaterAid's vision is of a world where all people have access to safe water and effective sanitation."
All children in 101 schools in the area were invited to take part and through their art, represent the importance of having clean water. The entries, both literary and artistic, were put on display and water company staff and some of their older children acted as judges.
The winning schools were St Katherine's Primary School, Southbourne, and Poulner Junior School, Ringwood. These schools were delighted to receive a prize of £700 each. The children who won first prize of £100 each were Sophie Baldwin from Poulner Junior for her picture, They can't drink dirty water for ever, and Rachael Pennell from St Katherine's for her poem, Water why? These entries were sent to London to be judged in the national children's competition, organised by the Drinking Water Inspectorate.
