Selena interview with NY Daily News about the "Tap Project
What is the most important thing about the water you can tell the children?
The water is extremely "fragile". Although we may have it a lot, there are many children around the world who do not get clean water. We should not take it for granted.
How's your mom tells you, as a teenager, the problems occurring in the world?
My mom is a very visual person. She shows me pictures and / or video about the people who are less fortunate than me. She always tries to make sure that I was aware of the problems that occur worldwide, but it does so, that I knew.
How would you explain the lack of water in other countries, has continued for 5 years?
We are very fortunate that we have clean water coming to us from the pipes, thus we can drink it and take baths. In some places people were not so lucky, their water is filled with mud and other things or simply is not enough for children to drink. It's like you take a bath in the muddy water, you're not clean, does not it?
Explain the expression "If you take water, let the water"
"If you take water, let the water" - is a huge program to raise money for clean water worldwide. The restaurants that participate in the project, when you order water you will be asked, if you want to donate one dollar or more to charity. This means that all money raised will benefit other people your age, in need of clean water.
What motivates you on a daily basis to maintain the situation?
It all begins with you! Everything from drinking water flowing from your faucet ... to a short shower.All these little things that can give you and your friends to make a difference.
