Ribeira Brava, Mar 22 (Inforpress) – World Water Day was marked in the municipality of Tarrafal de São Nicolau with a marching and cleaning campaign promoted by the City Hall and the Autonomous Water Service.
The marching was attended by about hundreds of people, mostly students from schools and kindergartens in the municipality, who walked through the main arteries of the city of Tarrafal.
