This week, if you are asked to pay for your tap water at a restaurant, it's for a good cause.
Alexandra Nagourney, a Glen Ridge High School junior and UNICEF volunteer has been working on a UNICEF project called the TAP Project, a nationwide effort to try to provide clean water to children around the world. Alex has been recruiting local restaurants to participate during World Water Week, March 16-March 22, when waiters will ask customers if they want to donate a minimum of $1 for their tap water.
Raymond's, Church Street Kitchen and Fitzgerald's have joined the TAP Project. If you can't dine out this week, but want to donate, go here.
Alex, what a wonderful thing you're doing!
