Stand Up & Speak Out
I’m probably a bit late in blogging this, but do join the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) and the Stand Up and Speak Out campaign set to kick off in the next few hours! Millions of people around the world will rally together from 21:00hrs GMT today, the 16th of October until tomorrow evening at 21:00hrs to speak out against poverty and inequality and for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Let’s help “break the world record so we can break the record of broken promises.”

Neat stuff! Glad you went as far as hosting your own event! I participated in a walk organized by CRSP, an NGO here in Zambia. Will be posting pics and all later. Cheers!

Not sure if you know but the results are in! Over 38.8 million people, in 110 countries have broken the Guinness World Record – set last year at 23.5 million - for the largest number of people to “STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY” in 24 hours.

Excellent! Let’s hope it all translates into meaningful anti-poverty programmes in our nations and jerks the leaders of the world into action!
