    Default Email from Dido

    I am a strong supporter of Make Poverty History. Anyone who is subscribed with them will have received this email from Dido. It's self explanatory:

    Seven years ago today, 70,000 people formed a human chain around the G8 summit in Birmingham to demand the cancellation of unfair debt. They didn't only make headlines - but made a difference. 12 months later, the same world leaders agreed to cancel $100 million of debts owed by the world's poorest countries. It was a triumph of people power.

    In seven weeks the G8 returns to the UK for the first time since they were in Birmingham. Thousands will gather in Edinburgh on July 2nd to call on the leaders of the world's richest nations to Make Poverty History. You can be one of them.

    The message is clear:
    Enough is enough. There needs to be trade justice, debt cancellation, and more and better aid for the world's poorest countries.

    I was moved when Mr Mandela said "Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that generation". It feels like these chances don't come often but this is a real opportunity to make changes in the world.

    P.S. Movie director Anthony Minghella made this film to highlight the craziness of Africans giving us in debt repayments MORE than we give them in aid. Watch it, and if you can, send it to a friend and urge them to join us.
    I would urge everyone to watch the videos on the MPH website. They are available in 56K dial-up and 512k broadband.

    You are not asked for any money. Just to add your voice to ours. To say enough is enough, and to tell the world leaders that we can make a difference...

    Kro out.

    It's real life. Very different from the movie world where everyone lives happily ever after. I would say they are not depressing, but they are upsetting - and true.

    LEDC countries have too much debt with richer countries, so they are unable to improve their country without the help of charities, so I don't think the campaign is simply money making, it's actually helping a lot of people.
    Using celebrities just helps the campaign to gain publicity.
