You have a vision and you're taking action – but is your government committed to you?

The United Nations Millennium Campaign invites YOU to make your voice heard and your action count.
Join them from the 17th – 19th October 2008 in the world's largest gathering of people who will Stand Up, Speak Out and Take Action to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

Whether you're Volunteering to serve or even Meditating in a group, every action counts in making our voices heard during the Stand Up Campaign. Last year 43 Million children, women and men took action! In 2008, we can and we must mobilise more voices, hearts and hands to get one step closer to eradicating all forms of poverty and inequality.

Log on to www.millenniumcampaign.org and www.standagainstpoverty.org.
You can make your voice heard, register your event or simply be informed.

Visionaries In Africa are making their voices heard.
