"Stop Children Dying Now" blends together with "Make Poverty History", LiveAid, & "don't they know it's Christmas time". The Millennium Development Goals is a new Project, one agreed to by 180 countries, over long term. <br /><br />Anyone educated at a college level (half a billion people on this planet; and the ones who really need to support this) can comprehend these. Hulme has been living with these for ten-plus years, yet I'd imagine the number of folks who've heard of them has doubled this year; and will likely go up even more next week.<br /><br />Furthermore, there HAS been progress made on many of the goals- literacy, disease eradication, other goals. But the goals themselves were stretch goals to begin with--abandoning efforts to reach them would be silly.<br /><br />I vote for the MDGs over Stop Children Dying, or better yet--integrating them: "Stop Children Dying: Support the MDGs!"SmithMillCreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207881113813644951noreply@blogger.com
