Make Poverty History!

Sometimes the simplest gesture makes the most impact. Do it yourself - you'll see how. Snap your fingers, once every three seconds. Do it about 5 times. It'll only take you 15 seconds. Go on, do it.

Did you do it? Did you snap your fingers five times, once every three seconds? Now do it again, it's only fifteen more seconds... but this time keep this in mind: every snap of your finger is one kid, dying somewhere in the world because he or she is just too poor to live. How long can you keep it going? How long does it take till you begin to understand that there really are children, somewhere in the world, who just died as you snapped you finger?

The Make Poverty History Campaign is one of the most significant movements of our generation. Our generation has the wonderful opportunity to say that we stopped poverty because we spoke out. That we stopped the stupid, debilitating effects of insufficient aid, crippling debt and unfair trade so that millions of people who share our dreams and aspirations to a decent living, could someday in the near future grow with equal opportunties just like us.
