Make Poverty History
Friday, 13 May 2005 10:38I'm reposting the following from an email I got from Comic Relief.
It's a good cause. PLease go and register on the site.
Ta.
... I need you to do something for me.
Every 3 seconds a child dies because they happen to be born poor.
If we changed 3 things - trade, aid and debt - that scandal would stop. And on 8th July, if the 8 men sitting round the table at the G8 summit think enough people want them to - they can actually do it. Stop the deaths.
But to make that happen we need you to get 3 people you know to go to www.makepovertyhistory.org and click on the button which says 'JOIN US'. This is serious now - time is running out - we've got 8 weeks. So please....
Do it now, email them, text them, call them, camp on their front lawn - whatever it takes - but I need you to find 3 people who, like you, want to stop this casual daily holocaust.
There are 56 days before the G8 leaders meet - this is our chance... this is the moment when we can become the generation that refuses to live in a world where 30,000 children are dying unneccessarily every single day.
We CAN make poverty history. But we need EVERYONE to get involved. It's time to really go to work on this. Please recruit those 3 people, right now.
