water for everyone


Our class has been discussing the Water for Everyone water bottling company being run by some All Blacks. We sent a letter about water for everyone to the Rodney Times. They published it. A little later a parcel arrived in the mail. We got very nice gifts from water for everyone company- a shirt and two water bottles each. The water is very nice and the shirts are very compfortable. Its good that people who buy this product are giving 5c to charity.
Below is our letter.

Dear Editor
We have heard that three All Blacks are advertising a new bottled water company called Water for Everyone.
We think this is a great plan by them.
They are doing something good for charity because they are donating five cents per bottle to the KidsCan charity. It might be only five cents but it's better than nothing. The KidsCan charity will be very grateful.
Water for Everyone is spring water. Bottled water is easy to take around.
You can reuse the bottle and since the three All Blacks sponsor the bottlee it makes it even better. We love the All Blacks and we wan to support them.
We will definitely buy this product. We hope the charity gets a lot of money.
This is a great thing that the All Blacks are doing.
Trent and Scott

Editor: Daniel Carter, Richie McCaw and Ali Williams are backing the project but have been told by their bosses the five cents should go to community groups- not directly to official All Blacks charity KIdsCan.
That's apparently because of contractual obligations and implications the water may be seen as an All Blacks product.
The trio are reportedly shareholders in the Premium New Zealand Trading Company behind the the brand. It has its own charity, the For Everyone Charitable Foundation, so KidsCan may be able to apply to this charity for funding along with other applicants.
