Extreme poverty in the new millennium is unjust, and stupid. Education, poverty, health, environment, human rights or world peace: these issues all belong to same world - the one we share. And they hit, just as you are reading this.
These and other pressing issues must not be left to specialists or governments. Even if we have little time, even if we are not doctors, it is very likely that each one of us can make someone somewhere a much less desperate person. Whether we help out of altruism or far-sighted self-interest, it is worth stepping in right now.

  • poverty in this millennium is the result of profiteering, on humans and on natural resources, Conglomerations, with the help of corrupt politicians, hold us as slaves, Even most of us are not aware of it, So all the profits, that are made from squeezing us and the land, are going to swiss number accounts, tax havens, and so on, Even this financial "crisis", the burden is again on us, the tax payers, while the rich owners of the bad companies, just get richer on govt aid, which we pay for,
