Basic description of the project: charity event 'music for life', by radio station studio brussels and the red cross, wanted to raise money for drinkable water for Afrika.
the insight: every tv host has a glass of water. it's so normal, nobody even notices anymore. Until a black boy showed up on Flanders' best watched station 'één' during three days, in prime time.
He drank the host's glass of water and then ran of.
the whole thing started to spread on the internet and other media. the only thing left to do: claim the campaign.
in 6 days time, people donated 3,3 million euro
