This year you can change the world. Every single day 30,000 children around the world are dying from extreme poverty and Make Poverty History, a huge global campaign, has decided that 2005 is the year for this crisis to be taken in hand. In the lead up to the G8 Summit in Scotland this July Make Poverty History will be campaigning heavily to influence the world leaders to finally do something about it. Ending poverty is not about charity, it's about justice. The changes we need aren't monstrous or unimaginable. But they will require everyone to do something this year. This book tells you what and how. 'Make poverty history in 2005. Make history in 2005. Then we can all stand with our heads held high' NELSON MANDELA, Trafalgar Square, 2005
