The Campaign to make poverty history!
Can you believe the fact that there are still 800 million people in world who go hungry everyday? I can’t still believe my eyes to have read that figure. Instead of dealing with this impounding task at hand, people are at wars for paltry issues. And not to mention how militancy, corruption, invasion and illiteracy are amassing this issue.
How much wonder can it bring if all the nations in the world cut loose 10% of soaring defense budget towards this cause? I think it should suffice at least half of the hungry population, if not all. In India, people will generously donate hundreds of thousands of rupee in the name of god, but when it comes to poor peoples cause, you will see everyone fume. Even if 50% of Indian population starts donating this ‘godly’ money towards this cause it will make all of the India’s poor population sate their hunger. As a matter of fact worldwide there are at least 100 million children who are out of school. Poverty and illiteracy suffice on each other forming a loop, thus making education a vital element. Only education can help in breaking this never ending cycle. Let’s work to put more children in school.
So what is ONE?
ONE aims to help Americans raise their voice as ONE against the emergency of AIDS and extreme poverty, so that decision makers will do more to save millions of lives in the poorest countries.
How can you help?
In more than one way, please visit the official ONE website - http://www.one.org/ for more information.
I would like to thank Victim Of Desire for making me aware about ONE.

I am not surprised by the fact that there are 800 millions ppl who go hungry everyday. And I think its impossible to make poverty a history. Coz that's an ideal situation and in this universe ideal conditions don't exist. Nature has a very strage way of balancing things....white is balanced with black and so as long as rich ppl are there poors will be there.....remember Matrix Revolutions....Neo had to die to kill Smith...
When in high school, i rmbr our school had started "Each one ,Teach one". Education is very important to make world a better place.
They are so many such organizations in the world who try to irradicate poverty/hunger from this world. Its pity that we dont help them even a wee bit.
Yes it's an impounding task but nothing is impossible in this world. And to make it happen, let's start with ourself..
Victim: Yes, one love..one life..and i did what i should have..
Vishal: Yes, I agree that it ought to balance somehow, but degree of poorness can be reduced so that atleast people get their food.
Mrinmayee: We never had that..hope you contributed somehow
Mrinal: Thanks for stopping by..and yes this should start with us..
