We Can End World Poverty

Doesn't that give you a great feeling -- that we actualy can do it? Or are you more skeptical -- thinking that there is just not the initiative in global leadership to do anything about this?

I'd encourage you to check out the One Campaign in the U.S. or the Make Poverty History campaign in the U.K., which are both local components of the White Band Campaign for the Global Call to End World Poverty. With the G-8 summit in July 2005, the world's most powerful leaders will come together, and collectively they could decide to improve the fate of those millions of people who live in the least developed countries - where poverty kills thousands every day. Also, the U.N. Millennium Campaign has been working on this for years, hopefully the nations of the world can come together and do something great like this, through one united voice of the United Nations. In a timely effort, Jeffery Sachs, director of the UN Millennium Project, has as just published The End of Poverty which defines the reality that this actually is possible through the science of economics.
