'Excuse me Mr. Secretary General, I think you would agree with me that the MDGs aren't probably going to see completion unless the people of the world truly ask for it, and demand their realization.'

[ElliottVUploads]

'... I don't think the UN or NGOs alone as institutions can inspire the world to stand for the MDGs. But I'm absolutely certain that the people within those institutions can. My big idea is to create a space online for humanitarians to educate, inspire and lead us by example for a better world for the whole of humanity. My big idea is about The Humanitarian Social Network.'

@Larisa105 Sorry - had to edit it slightly to make it fit in the character limit. But the general meaning is the same.
