auf jeden fall durchlesen


Every THREE seconds a child dies of poverty on this planet. That's every
3 seconds of every minute of every hour DAY and NIGHT. Think about that..
Now think about it a bit more. That's right, it's about thirty-thousand
people each day. Ordinary, nice, innocent, unlucky people. Dead.
Preventable deaths. How do you feel about that? I feel angry. And I
feel ashamed.

So what are we going to do about it?

The good news - the REALLY good news - is that we're probably the first
generation ever who can address and STOP the downward spiral of world
poverty, once and for all. We can only do this if we stand up as ONE and
ask our leaders - TELL our leaders - INSIST that this obscenity is
tackled NOW. The REALLY good news is that we CAN stand up as ONE and
that all we have to do is make a noise about it. We don't even have to
put our hands in our pockets..
(..
A new "Charity" (more of a "movement" than a charity) has been formed called "MAKE POVERTY HISTORY". You can become part of this movement at no cost by going to www.makepovertyhistory.org and simply adding your voice to the cause. You can save someone's life by doing this. You can do the
single most important and proud thing you've ever done.

This year, on July 6th and 7th, the leaders of the G8 (the 8 wealthiest
countries on earth) will sit round a table in Gleneagles, Scotland, to
discuss this issue and to take steps to try to resolve it. Whether these
steps are half-hearted politics, or impassioned commitments, depends
entirely on the weight of public pressure these 8 men feel. It's our
job to leave them in no doubt. This meeting will be hosted by Britain
and chaired by the British Prime Minister. The G8 have the very real
power to prevent the fundamental underlying causes of poverty in the
world. And we can afford it. WE won't even feel it.

Imagine how you'd feel if you did nothing.

Please help us to make a noise about this. People are dying in the world
right now at a greater rate than at any time during the "holocaust". How
could we stand by and do nothing?
