<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Sorry but I have to ask a question here, good
intentions I guess, but how exactly does wearing a white or whatever
colour band impact on poverty? Can we get more practical here?? Can
we all agree to do something tangible to alleviate poverty in our
own way or as a group....like increase access to ICTs for rural and urban
poor in Africa?</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000>“2005 is a year of great opportunity
and we can really do something to change the world and make it a better place.
The time has come to stop talking and start taking some action. If everyone
who wants to see an end to poverty, hunger and suffering speaks out then the
noise will be deafening. Politicians will have to listen” </FONT><FONT

Gleneagles Scotland. Promises have been made to put poverty at the top of the
agenda. This is our opportunity to make sure our voices are heard by the world
leaders who have the power to cancel debt, deliver more and better aid, and
change unfair trade rules and practices.</FONT></P>

world leaders to live up to their promises, and to make a breakthrough on
poverty in 2005. A simple white band is the symbol of the campaign, by wearing
one you are part of a unique worldwide effort in 2005 to end extreme
poverty-you’re saying that its time to stop the deaths of more than 200,000
people every single week from preventable diseases.</FONT><SPAN
