The event was organized by the United Nations childrens agency UNICEF (Originally called the United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund. Now it is called the United Nations Childrens Fund. ) which gave each participant a wristband with his or her number in the line and T-shirt certifying participation in the event. The latrine was of the same design as we use in third world countries — a dry latrine — and we formed the longest queue this morning, UNICEF spokesman Benoit Melebeck said. The Guinness Book of Records told us we needed to get at least 500 people in the queue to get the record, he said. Melebeck said the event was to raise public awareness and eventually funds for the need for more pumps, wells, latrines hygiene education for children in third world countries. We have 5,000 children dying every day from the lack of clean water, sanitation and hygiene education — this means one every 20 seconds, he said. Melebeck said none of the 756 people did actually use the latrine, which was only a fake. (Reporting by Jan Strupczewski)
