Poverty

“You can make a difference by your actions.
You may think you are powerless,
but together you can be the generation that
sees every child get the education that is their right.

World leaders have promised this
and you must make sure they keep to it
by joining together to speak with one voice.
Promises to children should never be broken.

You are the future of this world
and can change it for the better.
You can make leaders make their promises happen.

Last year we made great strides
in the fight against poverty
and I’m proud of every one of you
that joined the campaign to make poverty history.

Now the more difficult task begins to make the world keep its promises.” Nelson Mandela
