<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, money is good especially if it's put to good
use like training and skill impartation, job creation, providing business
opportunities and creating a secure and conducive environment for
business. I believe teach a man or woman to fish, and that will impact
positively on poverty reduction and subsequently, hunger, disease, child
mortality among other problems. Of course all this and each person's
serious renewed commitment to the war against corruption will help our
African countries get out of the debt situation more quickly and get
back our looted billions!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Maybe if the white band cost about 1,000/= and the money was
put directly into a fund towards a poverty alleviation strategy. But
personally I don't see how the wearing band will help.... at least not here in
Kenya

<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>
