Justice: Now, More Than Ever
If I told you a child dies every 3 seconds, you would probably think I was insane and mark me as some self-righteous bastard who is just trying to induce some sympathy. If I told you a child dies every 3 seconds, you would probably just nod your head along and throw up your hands and say, "I can't do anything about it" If I told you a child dies every 3 seconds, you would probably dismiss me as someone who is propagating some sort of fruitless campaign against poverty.
IF I TOLD YOU A CHILD DIES EVERY 3 SECONDS, I'M GUESSING YOU WOULDN'T CARE
What if I told you instead, that you can make a difference? What if I told you, you now stand on the crossroads of great change? To be part of something monumental? To be part of something that can REALLY help?
Don't dismiss it, guys and girls. Try it, it won't cause you a cent, it only needs your name.
On July 6 to 9, the G8 summit will take place in a most momentous occassion. They will meet to address the growing problem of poverty inhibiting out world today. It will involve A LOT of talks but it will be mostly about granting more aid and total debt cancellation for the 3rd world countries of Africa. The 8 richest world leaders will meet on this summit and discuss a possible solution for the problem of poverty BUT they need each and every one of our voices to help them decide. They want NO MONEY, they HAVE IT, all they want from us are our voices and our concern to make poverty history.
Most people, I know, are apathetic or may have lost their faith on humanity for all our mistakes and stupidity but if we miss out the chance to better humanity, then we are no different from what we are so violently against. You would be a hypocrite since you yourself are so abominable a person that you would not spend even 3 seconds to help the world wake up to its mistakes. You have a chance to better humanity, it just takes your name and your concern.
The G8 Summit will not be successful as long as we do not do something about it. They have the power, sure but we have to tell them how to use it because it is for our betterment. So please visit this site and put in your name:
