- Where you live should not decide, whether you live or whether you die...
- Ja, o mnie i jeszcze raz ja
- Childhood should be a happy time spent playing with friends, enjoying a favorite toy — even planning for the first day of school. But children in the developing world spend most of their childhood struggling to survive, without much hope for a secure, productive life. And they face incredible odds. Of the 57 million people worldwide who died last year, 10.5 million of them were children less than five years old. The majority of these children — some 98 percent — were in developing nations.
"Where you live should not decide, whether you live or whether you die!"
The Make Poverty History Concerts were a help to making poverty history with acts like U2. 91,987 Australians joined over 23 million people around the world to set the World Record for the most people to Stand Up against poverty. Events were held in 321 locations around Australia with a total of 11,646 events in 87 countries."

get involved
here are some ideas you should try!
#1 Sign up on an official make poverty history website to show your support, depending on which country your in, eg. onevote08.org for US, makepovertyhistory.org for UK...
#2 Buy a white band for yourself and some close friends or family that have the same enthusiasm for the cause as you do. I know a lot of you have asked where to get these from. I live in New Zealand so I can help out kiwis but I'm not sure about how the rest of the world can get them. Your best bet is to look for a buy a white band link on your country's website as mentioned in step #1. They actually have a new white band with the words 'No Excuse 2015', check it out here: www.milleniumcampaign.org, buy it here: www.noexcuse2015.org.
#3 Order more white bands to sell to your friends, family, workmates, classmates. Organize a white band stall at your school or at the mall!
#4 Spread the word. Make a speech at your school or church. Download a sample speech here: http://makepovertyhistory.org.nz/dow...
#5 On October 17 2007, join millions of people to Stand Up and Speak Out against poverty! www.standagainstpoverty.org
#6 Make sure you can access this Make Poverty History page from your profile! You can do this easily by clicking on the Change Modules link underneath your profile photo and drag Groups to either your left or right column. (This is because we have changed from a band to a group, to be more relevant to you, our members
#7 Improve your knowledge and donate rice to help end world hunger:

Get involved in making your school or workplace fair trade. Join an existing Fair trade action group or make your own. Steps you can take are purchasing fair trade coffee, sugar and chocolate as a option in your staff room or cafeteria. Little steps are needed like this to make sure people are given the choice between fair trade and unfair trade products. When you have enough support from your community, then is the time to remove the unfair products. And make a stand to only buy Fairtrade coffee in your home.
#10

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron -- Dwight D. Eisenhower1 odpowiedź 112 tygodni
