The 3^rd weekend (Fri-Sun) in October is…

 

 

The United Nations’ 2015 Millennium Campaign

Stand Up Against Poverty

 

 

 

 

 

Have you been following the Stand Up and Take Action (to end poverty) campaign, this weekend? It’s now in its’ 4^th year, and millions of people around the world are Standing Up and Taking Action to show their support for the fight against poverty and for the (UN’s) Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

 

 

• 1.4 BILLION people around the world exist on less than $1.25 per day! 

 

• One woman dies EVERY MINUTE as a result of pregnancy & childbirth!

 

• More than 1 BILLION people lack clean drinking water!

 

The problem is huge; yet, we CAN change it – TOGETHER!!

 

 

 

   

You Can End Poverty

 

 

 

I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up on it, if you haven’t been following Care-Aware™ on Twitter* (if not, you should – as I’m doing most of the postings from there, now). There’s still time to join in!

 

 

This global campaign is gaining so much attention and so many local events that the official numbers of attendees for it’s numerous events are being submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records!  You can still be a part of that, too: Submit your event-numbers before 23:59 GMT on Oct 18^th, 2009 to be counted (http://tr.im/CaRU).
