Ringo Star was very happy and relaxed while talking to the press about the Water Aid Garden which he opened at Chelsea Flower Show this year.
Water Aid is an international charity that transforms lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation.
The gardens aim was to show of how Water Aid's work can transform lives. With safe water close to home, women and children are able to spend less time collecting, or queuing, for water and more time generating an income for their family. This is the start of their journey out of poverty.
Ringo mentioned that he first heard of about WaterAid 10 years ago. He is very passionateabout the cause. I truly believe that everybody should have drinkable water. He demonstrated the water taps in the garden and was happy to pose with his wife Barbara Bach.
