MSNBC - Report: World can end poverty by 2025
MSNBC: World can end poverty by 2025:
"World can end poverty by 2025" - every once in a while something comes along that puts it all in perspective.
Recent contributions for Tsunami aid have been remarkable and will ultimately make a huge difference in the lives of the people that were impacted.
It's unfortunate that it takes a tragedy like the Tsunami for the 'well-to-do' in the world to remember the 'have-nots'. Part of this has to do with the fact that many people feel that they can't really make a difference. Sure, it seems like a daunting task, but ignoring it certainly isn't going to fix it.
Perhaps the 'celebrities' who gratiously donated their time (and hopefully their money) to the Tsunami victims will put together a program that's better than 'We are the world' (not that the intentions are bad - just the music...) and help bring this problem to light.
I guess my favorite part of this story is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and not just a bottomless money pit.
What have you done today to make a difference?
