ONE Voice AGAINST Global Hunger and AIDS
By Jeremy | June 14, 2005
“WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty.
"WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing an additional one percent of the U.S. budget toward meeting basic needs – education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans – would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries.
"WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all.â€ÂÂ
Sonsored by the ONE Campaign.
Generation Xcel (i.e. CoCo) produced the Voice of Silence in partnership with World Vision's 30-Hour Famine this past February to raise awareness locally about global AIDS and hunger. Nice to see so many others lending their voice to the campaign.
