"When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take
care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed."
~ Mother Teresa ~
[Quote from the petition]
"Specifically, we ask our country to honor the agreement it made and signed at the 2002 Monterrey Conference and again at the 2002 Johannesburg Summit to make concrete efforts towards giving 0.7% of our national income in aid to poor countries.
The United Nations estimates that when all 22 countries that signed the agreement meet the 0.7% goal, the resulting $195 billion each year will be enough to effectively end hunger and extreme poverty in the world."
Over 1,300 members care!
Please add your name.
Because of the great turn-out in signing, the petition author has shown faith in us by
raising the goal from 1,000 to 10,000.

75% of them are children. ~
