As the youth of today if poverty is not stopped now, we will feel the
adverse effects later on especially us Africans. Lets join hands, minds,
ideas and make noise about the G8 stopping POVERTY. Poverty belongs in the
museums as a historical fact not in today's civilization, it MUST STOP!!
Towards 2015

Watch all the G8 voices videos
On Wednesday, the leaders of the 8 richest countries will meet in Germany
during the G8 to discuss issues related to Africa, aid, trade, and climate
change. Join me in telling G8 leaders to keep their promises! The World
Can't Wait. End Poverty. Now.
Add your video voice telling G8 leaders "The World Can't Wait. End Poverty.
Now."
In 2000, world leaders agreed to achieve the 8 Millennium Development Goals
and end extreme poverty by 2015. G8 leaders made promises at Gleneagles,
Scotland in 2005, that would help in achieving the Millennium Goals. Now two
years later and halfway to 2015, those same leaders have not gone far enough
to keep their promises. I and many others from around the world are posting
our voices on YouTube. Our unified voice can't be ignored and will encourage
our leaders to act on their promises. Take a moment and use your video
camera, webcam or even cameraphone to record your message and be sure to
include the phrase, "The World Can't Wait. End Poverty Now."
If you don't have a means of recording video, you can still leave a comment
on my videoin
support of this initiative (free YouTube account required).
