new MPH campaign

[digsy]

wasnt certain where to post this but i think PLEBAs a good place to start - not only will you guys appreciate the visuals but you all seem to have good hearts too.

Make Poverty History has a new campaign starting tonight - several stars, all wearing the white bands clicking their fingers. each click represents the death of a child in the developing world to poverty... every 3 seconds!
Kylie, Kate Moss, Bob Geldoff and of course U2 (or is it just Bono? i don't know) star.

go to:
www.makepovertyhistory.com

if you click on the link on the first page now, it'll tell you to come back at 8pm tonight (GMT) so go back later, and while you're there SIGN UP!

Thanks for posting this, digsy.

I was just going to post it until I saw your thread so I decided just to join yours.

And if you're still going to Africa soon, take good care and learn a lot. You'll come back a changed person (for the better).

(From Sir Bob Geldof)

Tonight Make Poverty History is going to make television history.

At 19.58, across almost every TV channel, a short film featuring Brad Pitt, Bono, Cameron Diaz and many more famous faces, will show exactly why the opportunity we have this year to bring an end to poverty shouldn't be wasted.

It's called "Click" because in about the time it takes for you to click your fingers a person dies of extreme poverty. Dies, often, for want of medicine that you or I could buy over a counter at any chemist.

Do tell everyone you can to watch the launch of "Click" tonight - it's a really remarkable film. If you can't get to a TV you will be able to see it here after 20.00. Please forward this mail on to a group of your friends, and ask them to join us at www.makepovertyhistory.org too.

Thanks for your support. Together we really can make poverty history.

Bob
