Take a look at the ad above. I love it! It's genius! While, it's extremely provocative, there's very little text. It says, "Bad water kills more children than war."

  • UNICEF was founded on this day in 1946.
  • UNICEF provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.
  • Forty percent of the world’s children receive immunizations through UNICEF’s leadership.
  • UNICEF works in more than 90 countries around the world to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices.
  • UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 and the Prince of Asturias Award of Concord in 2006.
So what does this have to do with today's Qanday?

This is only one part of it. Even though the answer is probably obvious to a large population of the world, I don't want to spoil it for those who don't follow sports outside of the US.

If you don't know it here's a hint:
Other than the UEFA Champions League Final, El Clásico is the most followed club football match in the world, watched by hundreds of millions of people.
Trust me, the two topics are related.
