Stand Against Poverty
|
Stand up and declare that 24,000 people dying every day from hunger is unacceptable. Today is worldwide Stand Against Poverty Day. In the year 2000, the Millennium Campaign of the United Nations came up with 8 development goals in order to eradicate poverty. Six years later, progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go to accomplishing everything by 2015. But you can help. Today, declare your support in the fight against poverty. You can find a local event to attend or find other things to do to raise awareness. Tell a friend, educate yourself, and make a difference in the long, hard fight against poverty around the world.

Great links! I find the sad thing about all these events is that we often don't respond with lifestyle changes. Too often we'll read about this, go to an event, maybe even post it on our blog, and then continue our same lifestyles, passively contributing to the thousands who die everyday.
We need to do more!
