Millenniel Goals -Guinness Entry via CiteHR (CLOSED)

Prof.Lakshman

Here is another opportunity to express your solidarity to eradicate poverty and stand up for Millenniel development goals of UN and get your entry in Guinness book.

Your endorsement as a reply/comment done on site if done on 15 Oct and 16 th Oct before 10 GMT - 3.30 pm India time- it will be counted and your name will be in.

THE PLEDGE
Stand up for millennial Development Goals

We as members of CiteHR Community stand and now make endorsement proudly as members of the generation that intends to defeat extreme poverty.

We cannot stay seated when a child born in a poor country today will die 30 years earlier than a child born in a wealthy one when tens of thousands of people die unnecessarily every day.

And we stand up because we are asking not for charity, but justice. We know that in our names, world leaders have made mighty promises to bring this to an end ï¿½ they are called the Millennium Development Goals. What is needed is the political will to achieve and exceed these goals - so we are on our feet to say:

To the leaders of the wealthy countries: Be great. Fight to keep your promises ï¿½ debt cancellation, more and better aid, and trade rules that help fight poverty. You know what needs to be done. Do it.
We also stand before the leaders of poorer countries to say: Be great. Make it your first responsibility to save the lives of your poorest citizens. We ask you to achieve real transparency and accountability in how money is spent, to tackle inequality, to root out corruption. You know what needs to be done. Do it.

We wish to set a record today for the number of people standing up to demand action on poverty ï¿½ but the record we really want to break is the worldï¿½s record of breaking promises and just ignoring the poor. We donï¿½t want record numbers of people dying of poverty every year for the rest of our lives.

We are six billion voices. We want justice now. No more excuses. We will not stand for them.
