Glastonbury 2009
Hurray! A hot, sunny weekend at Glastonbury, what a treat!
Our presence at the festival is always a great opportunity to talk to lots of different people about our work, and this year didn't disappoint, with 18,060 petitions signed calling on Gordon Brown to be a sanitation champion.
MP Nick Clegg, Leader of the Lib Dems, even stopped by to add his name.
From welly shies and tug o' wars to sack races and space hoppers, there was much fun to be had on Saturday when WaterAid held a fete-themed day backstage. This included fantastic performances from Tinariwen, Baaba Maal and Emmy the Great, who also found the time to make two great films for WaterAid. Watch them here.
As well as all this, we met a host of stars who gave us their support, including VV Brown, Paulo Nutini, Jo Wiley and Maximo Park.
