Here in Orlando we are lucky to have the Cirque du Soleil resident show La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. This beautiful show draws in thousands of guests eager to see the beautiful costumes and acrobatics of Cirque’s quality productions. Now the creator of this Montreal-based company will be embarking on a historical journey of his own in the name of charity. Guy Laliberté will be visiting the International Space Station with a Russian space crew via Soyuz-TMA 16 rocket to participate in an event called the Poetic Social Mission. This global event will help the environmental and humanitarian charity known as the One Drop Foundation.

This foundation brings to light the troubles of those in third world countries that have limited or polluted water supply. At OneDrop.org’s website, you can read the shocking statistics regarding water shortages that the citizens of these nations face every day. It takes about three gallons of water to produce one sheet of paper. Many of these citizens have only one gallon of water to survive off of each day. Once you do the math and realize how much water we take for granted, you will realize the importance of Laliberté’s Poetic Social Mission.

From space, Laliberté will be doing a webcast that will feature appearances by the world’s biggest politicians and entertainers. This will be a LIVE historical global webcast, which will be broadcasted from 14 cities worldwide. Expect to see stars like Al Gore, Matthew McConaughey, Salma Hayek, and U2 all joining in to help promote Guy Laliberté and OneDrop’s mission of “Water for All, All for Water,” in order to help those suffering in poor nations. As someone that has brought the incredible artistry of his Cirque du Soleil shows to cities all around the world, it’s great to see Guy Laliberté pushing creative limits even further by bringing global awareness to this cause from the International Space Station.

If you want to help, visit OneDrop.org or check out their Facebook, and Twitter pages. Also, don’t forget to tune into the historical webcast on October 9 at 8 pm Eastern Time and do your part to help save the world’s water sources and bring attention to this great cause.
