[White Band Day 2] Wake-Up to Poverty

From One World Net

Five years on from the Millennium Summit world leaders are meeting, from 14 –16 September, to discuss progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the United Nations World Summit (MDG +5 Summit).

Thus far, efforts to reach the MDGs have fallen woefully short of what is needed to achieve them. Which is why, just ahead of this Summit on 10 September, the Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP) is organizing White Band Day 2 – the second in a series of massive international mobilizations from GCAP.

GCAP will send a clear message to governments across the world that politicians must keep their promises to achieve the MDGs. Together, we will show the breadth and depth of support for action now to end poverty.

The activities in Bosnia will be coordinated by ALDI Gorazde NGO, through its dedicated Zajedno web-page. ALDI called all youth organizations to come up with initiatives, ideas for the White Band Day 2.
