Today is World Water Day. A day to raise awareness about the lack of clean water in the world. Nearly 1 billion people don’t have access to clean water.

Protecting Spring #2 Operational
We are very pleased to announced that our second Protected Spring in Uganda is now fully operational, giving more people clean water. Amazing.
Following on from our last post, you can see the spring taking shape.
The excavation was quite difficult as they needed to dig very deep as you can see by the sides.
A really great achievement for No More Durty Water to give this community clean water. This would not happen without the dedication of the Bridge Of Hope Children’s Ministry, to identify the location and the resources in Uganda.

Protecting Spring 2012
Up date progress on our latest Protected Spring being installed at the moment in Uganda.
The water hole is quite some distance off the road and serves the local community, a health centre and school. .
The people were very willing to carry the materials from the road where the truck will drop them down to the water hole.
The construction of the Protected Spring has now commenced. This time around a lot more digging is required than at the last one.
More photos will be added as the construction continues. Many thanks to the Bridge of Hope Children’s Ministry for identifying and organising our latest spring.

Durty 45 Bus Returns For 2012
The Durty 45 Bus had an amazing first year, going down a storm at CamperJam, Beach Buggin’, Amakuru Vdub and Southsea Bandstand.
The engine has been rebuilt, so the Bus is ready for promoting for No More Durty Water in Summer 2012.
As you can see from the photographs, there was a few changes along the way. The stage had to go, as needed another bus to get it there, which is not very environmental. A professional tent was purchased to go over the whole thing, making Durty 45 Bus fully weather proof and safe.
DATES FOR 2012……More to be Confirmed.
6th – 8th July – CamperJam
2nd – 6th August – V Dub Island
12th August – Beach Buggin
Everyone involved with the Durty 45 Bus, works for free, and even pays for the fuel. There is no cost to the festivals, unless they would like to make a donation to No More Durty Water.
If your interested in the Durty 45 Bus attending your event visit Durty 45 page or email paul@nomoredurtywater.org.

A trip to the seaside with Durty 45 Bus
Durty 45 Bus was once again out on the campaign trail for No More Durty Water, this time at Beach Buggin. The ultimate VDUB show by the beach due to our amazing location on Southsea Common in the heart of the seafront.
Over 1050 cars attending the show and enjoyed a lazy, laid back day in the sunshine with the Durty 45 Bus providing the soundtrack.
A big thank you to Ali, Dave and Beach Buggin crew for getting the Durty 45 Bus & No More Durty Water involved.
New friends & connections made, flyers given out, t-shirts sold and a great reaction for the Durty 45 Bus. Going to a very busy summer 2012 for the bus supporting No More Durty Water.
