Meet Super Toilet!
24 November 2008 On World Toilet Day, 19 November 2008, WaterAid America launched their new online resource for children, The Adventures of Super Toilet. World Toilet Day drew attention to the 2.5 billion people in developing countries living without adequate sanitaiton. Children are among the most severely affected by this crisis, with nearly 5,000 child deaths each day — that's more than from HIV/AIDS, malaria, and measles combined. The Adventures of Super Toilet is an online animation which helps children understand the importance of toilets, clean water and good hygiene in preventing the spread of deadly diseases. Super Toilet, Driplette and Soapy Hero form the Super Hygiene Team who are called upon to fight the villain, Vinny the Poo. The Adventures of Super Toilet was developed for WaterAid America by the multi-talented Charlie Williams, 'The Noise Guy', author of the children's book about toilets Flush and performer of humorous, educational shows about toilet sounds. "When we teach the importance of sanitary practices, why not make it fun? The wonder of toilet flushes, for instance, is that they're like snowflakes....no two sound the same!" said Charlie Williams. Patricia Dandonoli, President and CEO of WaterAid America commented: "Children seem particularly concerned about the global crisis in drinking water and sanitation, there's a passion in young children for fairness that motivates them to get involved. We hope The Adventures of Super Toilet serves to inform them about the importance of hygiene and safe sanitation in their own lives and inspires them to take action to help children around the world living without these basic human needs."
