During
his journey to the International Space Station, Canadian billionaire
Guy Laliberté, founder and president of the renowned Cirque du Soleil,
recorded a show that is now being broadcast online about his charity
One Drop Foundation and its goal of water conservation.
Calling
the program “Poetic Social Mission,” Mr. Laliberté said he believed
that an artistic message about this valued resource would complement
the information being provided by scientists.
Among the
distinguished participants joining Poetic Social Mission were Nobel
laureate and former US vice president Al Gore, Dr. David Suzuki,
musical group U2, Shakira, actress Salma Hayek, and other noted
personalities.
Mr. Guy Laliberté, we laud you for your noble
efforts to conserve Earth’s precious resources through an artistic
awakening. May your mission be abundantly successful, with God’s grace.
