Happiness lies for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Guy Laliberte, the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, has created a wonderful video to explain the water crisis, and what we can do to help. It’s definitely worth a visit to his website onedrop.org The purpose: to raise everyone’s awareness of the planet’s water-related issues by drawing inspiration from the ONE DROP Foundation’s dream, “Water for all, all for water.” Ultimately, Guy is dedicated to making an impact on how water, our most precious resource, is protected and shared.

The Poetic Social Mission is the world’s very first social and artistic mission to be carried out from space. Guy will be training for the September 2009 flight. Its scheduled launch date is September 30.

Moving Stars and Earth for Water is an artistic happening broadcast online, organized on the occasion of the Poetic Social Mission seeking to raise everyone’s awareness of water-related issues.

This artistic event moves through 14 cities around the world and brings together personalities such as Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Dr. David Suzuki, Peter Gabriel, Salma Hayek, Shakira, U2 and many others who join voices with Guy Laliberté to celebrate water.

The artistic core of the special program is a poetic tale written especially for the occasion by renowned novelist and Man Booker Prize winner Yann Martel.
