The picture is cut off, but here's the missing part :I will STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY on 17th October 2007. Please join me. (And then the 'please join me' is supposed to be hyperlinked to http://community.livejournal.com/lacafetiere/2405.html)
It's the day for RGS to STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY! Y'know it's real great that students in RGS organise meaningful events, really.
Yay i'm so proud to be an Rafflesian! (clapclapclap)
Anyways
Yupp i think that it's real important that we bring this issue to the attention of world leaders. The fact that half the world is living in poverty is not to be ignored.
"The promise to end poverty inequality and hunger. The promise to stop children dying from preventable diseases. The promise to ensure basic education for all children, particularly girls. The promise to stop women dying during pregnancy and childbirth. The promise to provide water and sanitation and to protect the environment. The promise to provide more and better aid, fair trade and debt cancellation. The promise to achieve these goals by 2015. The promises that some of them [world leaders] have not kept." (taken from inet)
THE WORLD MUST STOP BREAKING PROMISES. PROMISES LIKE THIS. THE PROMISE TO HELP FEED THE STARVING, MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR THEM.
(Just like the promise should be kept to bring co2 levels down to 1994 standards. But that's a different story.)
So STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY!
