From September 7-9, Marion Salvos will be hosting the toilet tour!
This is part of a broader campaign by the Micah Challenge and their partners (including The Salvation Army) known as "Give Poverty The Flush".
We are hopeful that the event will be attended by our local federal member, Dr Andrew Southcott. We have also sent invitations to our Mayor, Felicity Lewis, and our state member, Alan Sibbons.
Give Poverty The Flush is aimed at raising awareness about the 780million people who live without access to clean, safe drinking water and the 2.5 billion people who don't have adequate sanitation. Every day around the world, 3000 children die from preventable causes related to water, sanitation and hygiene.
The event will feature the giant toilet - a two meter toilet - in our foyer where people can have photos taken and sign the petition to ask for the federal government to do more in this area.
Look out for more information to come.
