(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/20/12 -- For World Water Day on March 22, ONE DROP is teaming up with the Maison Mondiale de la Radio Communautaire to raise awareness and mobilize people on different continents regarding the issues surrounding access to safe water for all. To do this, 22 radio clips on the theme of water will be produced in 22 countries. They will be available in French for community radio stations in all the member countries of the AMARC-the major network of community radio stations, which covers every continent and has the potential to reach nearly 5 million listeners across the world.
"The networking opportunity provided by ONE DROP to raise awareness and mobilize the people of the world regarding water-related issues on a local and international scale will act as a catalyst for the recognition, credibility and potential of the Maison Mondiale de la Radio Communautaire," says Marcelo Solervicens, Secretary General of the AMARC.
"Working with such a vast network allows us to benefit from the worldwide potential of radio and to reach out to millions of people. Water-related issues affect everyone around the world and this partnership will allow ONE DROP to continue in its efforts to raise awareness on the issue of water," explains Lili-Anna Peresa, Executive Director of ONE DROP.
