Guilherme da Cruz Catharino from Brazil

"I remember that I was in school and they cut the water in the school. We stayed with no water in school. A lot of public schools cancelled some classes for one or two days, three days, because they weren't having water in the schools. This is the thing that I would like to say to everyone really, really, really take care of these resources. We all know scientifically that we can't live without water. Some people in other countries have the experience to not have water and we listen somewhat about it, but when you experience something like that… I did not experience it as badly as people in other points of the world have suffered from it. But even just an experience like mine, after that you know that it is terrible."
