If you are looking
for a New Year's Resolution, why not to help make world poverty
history yours for 2005?
My favourite comedy
programme, the Vicar of Dibley brought this organisation to my
attention and now I would like to bring it to yours. You can do
anything from sending Tony Blair a postcard or email, to wearing the
White Band to standing up and making your mark at the G8 summit in
Scotland this July. Whatever you do all you really need to do is show
the government that you care. This way they can help tackle this
problem in the best ways possible - through meaningful changes in
trade, debt and aid.
30,000 people die
every day just because they are poor, 5 people every 5 minutes because
they can't afford the drugs they need, and because of this
MakePovertyHistory has said enough is enough and is making 2005 the
year of the White Band and are looking for us all to show that we care
so that the politicians will do something.
So have a very happy
new year, and help people all over the world have a happier and
brighter future just by showing you care. |
