The Final Millenium Development Goal

So we have now reached goal no: 8 which is also the final goal.
But this goal is not the least important.
To me, this goal is the most important one of the eight!

DEVELOP A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT.
Without fulfilling this goal, none of these other goals could be achieved!
This goal brings us all together as a world and makes everything happen!

Ever heard of the Global Poverty Project?
Well you need to, cus' it basically strives to fulfil not only this goal, but all the other seven. This to me seems to be the BEST ORGANISATION IN THE WORLD promoting all the worst problems in the world and showing us how to change them.

So come and change the world for the better!

Have fun and TELL YOUR FRIENDS about this awesome international organisation.

Cya next week!

ANTI POVERTY WEEK - MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOAL NO: 7

This week is another very special week for our blog:
- 1: of course, we have another goal to fulfil-environmental sustainability
-and 2: this week is Anti Poverty Week.

1: Without trees, plants, and crops surrounding us, we could not live on this earth (or anywhere else.) Over the past century, us humans have been very careless with the way we treat the environment around us. But we cannot blame the generations before us. Instead, we need to make a positive change with our treatment of the nature around us, we need to help spread the word about endangered species and all other problems associated with this goal.
Cleanup is a great site that talks about different ways to contribute to looking after our environment and about upcoming events that you can go to to help clean up our country.
Save the Environment is a useful blog that is basically a web directory of sites that can help fulfil this goal.

Take a look, its worth a look.

2: This week is a great week. Its Anti Poverty Week! This is a great opportunity to show how much we care about changing the world and ending poverty!

This week has a website that will give you some ideas on what you can do during this legendary week.

Tap this link to view this awesome site

So if you have a free minute in your busy week, have a loom at this stuff! Remember, if we can all do small good things for our world, soon we as a world could all be doing one big thing: changing the world!

Thanks!

GOAL 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS

Across our world, there are many terrible diseases that can be the result of a lost family member or friend in many countries, especially developing ones. Malaria, AIDS, and many other of these are fatal and should be treated with the right medication and hospitality. The sad thing is, most of the people with these diseases are living in extreme poverty and do not have access to these facilities. What can we do about this?

I was scanning the web, wondering what organisation we could look at or what challenge we could commit to, when I stumbled into the most amazing organisation to do with this subject I have ever seen. Its called The Global Fund, and deals with basically all the problems associated with this goal!

This is worth checking out. It is another one of these amazing organisations that we really should support. Next week is anti-poverty week, so keep that in mind.


Thanks! 

Happy 4TH Odd Sock Wednesday!

Cya later!

GOAL 5: MATERNAL HEALTH

Challenge No.5: Maternal Health.

Did you know that every minute of every day at least one woman dies of giving birth or pregnancy?
Well now you do, and we need to let the world know about this big problem!
Visit the following sites, maybe link them to your Facebook or Twitter accounts:
UN Women National Committee Australia
Oxfam - Maternal Health

MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE No 4: Gender Equality

I owe you all a big apology: last weeks' goal was meant to be the one I am promoting now.
But in either order, we will still be making a difference and supporting the goals.

So the goal of last week now relocated to this week is as follows: promote gender equality.
Did you know that in many developing countries girls do not have the opportunity to receive the same education as boys?

Giving girls an education gives them confidence, gives them a voice, and a chance at a life full of joy and independence.In Australia and other developed countries, girls have the opportunity not only to a basic education, but they can choose their jobs and their future, whether it be a doctor, chef, or mechanic-the skies the limit.

This week we are finding ways to support women in developing countries and give them a shot at having a better life.

The St Vincent de Paul Society creates some wonderful appeals and fundraisers made for things that are happening around our world that are not fair. One of their appeals, Assist a Student, I feel was made for this goal. This appeal asks for a donation that will help girls as much as boys in developing countries and gives them a better education-and therefore a better chance at life. To check out the site, click the link above.


St Vincent de Paul Society is full of great ideas, and is a huge part of our quest of making the world a better place. They have stores that are run by sometimes even volunteers, vans that travel around cities at night helping those on the streets, and they create appeals such as this one that bring our world a few steps closer to a problem-free world.


So this week, think about things. Check out the site, think to yourself, talk to your colleagues and classmates, and really try to realise that to get to our dream-world, gender equality is a huge step, and with all of us making some steps of any size, we can overcome this obstacle and treat each other fairly.

Thanks!

The End of Polio - MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOAL NO:3

The third of eight millennium development goals is: CHILD MORTALITY.
Today I was scanning the web, and I found a great article on a great website. This article tells us about how easy it can be to end the problem of polio for not only adults but children as well. Along with this article, a campaign was launched-The End of Polio-that is dedicated to helping the Global Polio Eradication Initiative receive donations. Its a great idea -no its truly LEGENDARY- and you should really take a look at the whole campaign @: The End of Polio Campaign
                                          The Article
So this week see what you can do for the cause - there's a petition to sign, you can like articles on your Facebook or Twitter, donate to the campaign through Rotary International, and even come an ambassador!!!!!!

Hundreds of thousands of children around our world have to put up with polio-but we can change that!
This is our third week of eight in the MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES, good luck!!!!!
