achieving these goals isn't just about a charity and giving money to organisations. It is about working together and taking action.

Well, ..hum. I think we can change our little own world, but if we have the possibility, or would have the possibility, to change more things; we should do something and don't wait for others to improve the world.

there are people out there who are taking the responsibilty for the rich parts of the worlds actions. the main reason for poverty is unfairly spread wealth. there are people with billions and people with nothing , its normal people too but if that money wasnt spent on footballers and movie stars who dont give most of it away like a good person would then this will continue. it is disgusting that they can live with themselves , this is not what God put us on this earth for

For those who are critisizing MDGs: I dont know what is the best for this planet, but at the momment MDGs seem promising.Independently from our different political viewpoints, faiths, believes, cultures etc I would argue that we are in this world to experience Love and Freedom. The project MDG's is a way to gain this experience. That is to say, being active is not about them but about myself, my family, neighbourhood,culture,city,cou­ntry,continent etc We ll find out soon what the best 4 us is.

Last sunday in basel there was the 3 day of mdg's.Me and our class were there.it was in a theater and all the people who came we shocked

with examples that they know how it is in the

poor countries.I took the thema equal rights

for women.And there were men who just

shouted that discrimination doesn't exists anymore.So people speak about the mdg's.Tell it all your friends and familys.I never met someone who knew what it is.I'm disappointed about how few people are interested about the mdg's!

Achieving these goals is hard if every one will not help each other.....

@abbymichelle1220 You should google / youtube ZIMBABWE and see how the blacks destroyed their own good country. also: "Revolution in South African schools" show how the pests burnt down their own schools during Apartheid - and they have no better up north! The truth about Africans will set them free.

@abbymichelle1220 My family has done more than your family, but, like in Haiti (before the quake), Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi ... they broke down everything. zimbabwe was the bread basket of Africa, now the Blacks are far, far worse off.  They will always be dependant - just like children. So, give up your citizenship and go live under a black government in Sub-Sahara and who us how you get Africa out of its low human development ... LOL LOL LOL.

@abbymichelle1220 You obviously do not live in a country run by a black government. They have families that they cannot feed because they do not practice the concepts of responsibility and accountability. The Apartheid government did more to uplift the black than any other organisation. In 1960 South Africa had 10 universities; the rest of Sub-sahara only 10, and the Congo only 17 people with degrees. 85% of vehicles owned by blacks were blacks in South Africa. they also broke down Zimbabwe.
