===Viva Con Agua de Sankt Pauli Charity Hitch===
Small charity race from [[Hamburg]] to [[Spain]] in order to rise attention for drinking water issues.In 2008 the hitchhike race was organized the first time and 12 hitchhikers from Germany and Austria joined.The hitchhikers called attention for drinkwater problems in different countries in Asia, Africa and Latin Americam. On the 2500km long lasting route from Hamburg to Zaragoza they spread 5000 flyers in 4 different languages and received different articles in TV, Press and Radio, promoting hitchhiking and the idea of combining social engagement&fun simultaneously.Beforehand they found themselves sponsors who donated one cent each hitchhiked kilometer.During the Hitch they did not collect a cent at all to keep hitchhiking free of money issues on the road.
