During a trip to Capitol Hill on World Water Day, Mandy Moore admitted to feeling a general sense of nervousness over a planned address to lawmakers.
"It's overwhelming, but I would say there are probably more nerves attached to doing something like this than my regular day job," Mandy confessed to Yeas & Nays Tuesday.
In spite of her nerves, Mandy delivered a powerful message as she plied members of Congress to support access to safe, clean water and improved sanitation in the developing world. She met lawmakers including Senator John Kerry, and Representatives Earl Blumenauer and Jim McGovern.
"Here on Capitol Hill, it's pretty hard for us to imagine what it's like to face illness every time we are thirsty, but it's a reality in Southern Sudan," said Mandy. "It is an overwhelmingly tragic situation but the good news is we can do something about it."
