Make Poverty History
‘EVERY single day, 30,000 children are dying as a result of extreme poverty.
That’s one child every three seconds.
This year we finally have the resources, knowledge and opportunity to end this shameful situation. In 2005 thousands of people in countries all around the world are coming together to MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY once and for all.
MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Aotearoa New Zealand is part of this massive global movement. It is made up of a coalition of organisations from across the country who have come together to call for the New Zealand government to play its part in ending poverty. ‘
National Youth Hui
‘Global Camp’ offers a chance for people throughout the country to get together for training, discussion and campaign building, and basically to have some fun.
The plan for global camp is to have 4 camps a year in the school holidays for 4 days each. Camps will cater for about 20 young people a time and be held in different areas of New Zealand.
The first hui for regional coordinators is being held in Wellington Oct 6-8th 2005. Wanna come? Contact us for more information: info@justfocus.org.nz
