A Victory! And a message from David
Share
Aaron taped this video of ONE CEO David Lane talking to ONE members about the world food crisis and their recent victories. Watch to learn more.
You can also check out this post to see our petition delivery to the White House last week.
UPDATE: What David says:
Thanks for being a part of our hunger crisis campaign. Since I first wrote to you about this crisis three weeks ago, your response has been overwhelming and made this one of our most successful campaigns ever.
137,000 ONE members have signed our petition to President Bush, asking him to lead the G8 – a group of the world’s richest and most powerful countries – in taking action to alleviate the impact this crisis is having on people around the world.
Rising prices for staple foods and low crop yields for the world’s poorest farmers have created a silent tsunami that threatens to push 100 million people deeper into poverty.
The petition you signed asked for two things:
1. For the G8 to prioritize issues of global poverty, including the world hunger crisis, on the agenda of the G8 Summit this July in Japan.
2. And for President Bush to secure commitments at the G8 summit for additional resources for all types of food assistance and increased agricultural productivity in developing countries.
Last week, we delivered your petitions to the White House adding your voice to the growing call for action. I am pleased to be able to share with you some of the work that’s already being done to help end the hunger crisis.
Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda put the global hunger crisis on the agenda for the G8 summit, as part of a broad commitment to fighting global poverty. That is an important victory, because Japan is hosting this July’s G8 summit, where international commitments to fight poverty will be made.
In the United States, President Bush made an initial pledge of $200 million in American food assistance and followed that up last week with a call for Congress to approve $770 million in food assistance and investment in agricultural infrastructure in the developing world.
Getting the hunger crisis onto the G8’s poverty fighting agenda, and securing pledges of increased food assistance and investment in agricultural development adds up to a big win. It’s a testament to the power of grassroots action against even the toughest challenges global poverty presents.
Our next step is to secure commitments at the G8 Summit this summer and at other funding opportunities, for the fight against extreme poverty and global disease.
Thanks for adding your voice to the call for action to end the hunger crisis.
You, as a ONE member, drive everything we do. I look forward to continuing to work with you on this issue and many others in the months to come. Visit ONE.org to find out the latest.”

This is truly the best organization I have ever had the honor to be a part of. Our victories are big yet so small when I think of children laying awake hungry and hurting. Thank you for helping me be an army of O.N.E.

I wish the video were captioned. Or maybe a text version accompanying it?
May 7, 2008 at 1:27 pm
It is simple…easy…basic…yet so unbelievably profound…Such an overwhelming task doesn’t have to be so — it only takes so little, done by many and with one voice we can be heard. Thank you for giving us an avenue to shout audibly what our hearts beat silently within us. We have only just begun!!
May 7, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Congratulations to David and ONE! Let’s keep it going!
May 7, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Beautifully stated Ginny! “…shout audibly what our hearts beat silently…” tears to my eyes beautiful. This is what ONE is all about. You are what ONE is all about!
May 7, 2008 at 1:37 pm
thanks so much for the video, that is a great way to help keep us informed and encouraged by how our voice is truly helping.
May 7, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Glad to a part of such a wonderful organization. Keep it up.
May 7, 2008 at 1:39 pm
It’s interesting how up in arms we get here in America about the rising price of gas to power our cars. Yet when corn and rise prices begin a meteoric rise, almost nothing is said. Thank you ONE for being a powerful voice for those who are hungry.
May 7, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Congratulations to you on all of your wonderful works.
You are a wonderful example for all of us to follow.
May 7, 2008 at 1:44 pm
All you need is LOVE!
God is Love
May 7, 2008 at 1:45 pm
God bless you David for your stand. I will always support you and the One organization.
May 7, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Inspiring news and a sincere thank you for the response. It only makes me want to continue to help where I can and hopefully others will follow too.
May 7, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Thanks, David. It’s great to put a face with your name and see you in a more personal way.
May 7, 2008 at 1:48 pm
This planet has got to come together and truly be ONE people. We can do it, one voice, one signature, one kind act at a time. Let’s keep working on it! We’ll get there, I believe!
May 7, 2008 at 1:51 pm
GLAD TO HEAR ALL THE SUPPORT WE GOT. THANKS DAVID FOR STANDING UP FOR THIS FIGHT!!
May 7, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Congrats~!!!!
May 7, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Thank you David, and all who signed.
Truly, WE ALL ARE ONE!!!!!!
May 7, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I am so grateful that all of this has been set up by David Lane, so that I can so easily join with others to help. THANK YOU! Thanks also for explaining how all of this works, and that real progress has been made. God Bless you.
May 7, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Excelent work in organizing this effort!
May 7, 2008 at 2:03 pm
This is a tremendous accomplishment! The world needs more companies like O.N.E. A big thank you to everyone from the CEO to the last custodian. Thank you!

May 7, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I am very happy to join David in this most important endeavor. I thank David also for his fortitude and insight. My prayers are with him, and this organization.
May 7, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Thank you to David,and to all the people who care. Way to go ONE…………………………
May 7, 2008 at 2:06 pm
I agree with the other comments, it feels good to be able to participate in a way and to see the results from all of our actions. Thank you so much for creating ONE and for allowing us a venue to help!
May 7, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Way to go!!!
May 7, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Feels good to be part of this organization
May 7, 2008 at 2:08 pm
How amazing that people are finally starting to realize we are all ONE! Imagine yourself as an individual cell in one huge cosmic body. Everything you do to your “cell” will affect all those around you, then around the adjacent cells, etc. What may seem like a small shift in thinking can and does have a very big impact. Congrats to ONE!
May 7, 2008 at 2:09 pm
There is so much hope with this organization. Your expectation that extreme poverty will end is so encouraging.
May 7, 2008 at 2:12 pm
There is also a webpage called http://www.freerice.com that is worth checking out.
May 7, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Thank You for giving us this oportunity to be heard!! What a wonderful accomplishment, I am so honored to be a part of these efforts! My only wish is that this effort will keep spreading globaly and involve many, many, more people who truly do care to stop the hunger crisis! We can do it! Good work to everyone involved!
May 7, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Aloha David, This was music to my ears… Thank you for all you hard work to ensure something gets done about this problem… YOU ROCK! Aloha, Cairn
May 7, 2008 at 2:24 pm
What a novel idea. Spending millions of dollars to feed the hungry, showing human kindness to human kind…instead of spending billions to kill. Imagine what we could really do ~ if we were intentional ~ to promote peace, justice, and tolerance while eradicating extreme poverty and global disease. Thank you ONE for allowing all of us to try and do just that. Penni

Thumbs up to David and everyone involved. I pray that God continues to change hardened hearts of men. GOD BLESS ALL!! ONE LOVE!!
May 7, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Thanks so much for all you do!!! Shining the light on the problems that I believe can be solved with help from everyONE, really gives me hope!!
May 7, 2008 at 2:29 pm
As an American I am very aware of how lucky I am. I am thrilled that I can be part of an organization that will let me help others. Thank you.
May 7, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Dear David – It’s nice to put a face to a name, after many thoughtful and thought provoking emails and action……Frances
May 7, 2008 at 2:44 pm
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the things that should be done to rectify neglected areas of concern. Yet if each of us pick ONE thing, and act on it, we’ve begun to accomplish that task. It all hangs together people.Issues of poverty, hunger, health and education. Work on at least ONE, and we will indeed see progress in our lifetimes. Indeed, by giving someone else time to have that life, we will have WON our victory. Keep the pressure on, that those to whom we give the power to act, actually do so. Do the right thing, and do it now.
May 7, 2008 at 2:47 pm
dear David,
thank you for the feedback on “our ” success so far thanks to your initiatives. I wanted to ask if you have helpful leads or contacts for me as i have just begun agricultural work in South Africa in the Transkei region in a small village to teach them how to grow more food in an effort to bulld some immunity and help slow the effects of HIV/AIDS, that affects at least 70% of the people there. I began simply and slowly as is necessary teaching llow cost fertilizer making , no-till planting and crop rotation. Now, building on this success i need to know what step 2,3,4 and so on is to progress toward our goals for the people. I am sure this is being done and has already been successfully done elsewhere in Africa even, so any help would be greatly appreciated especially by the people of this village, one of our goals is to get a successful model going, then duplicate it to other surrounding villages, teach the people so they become the teachers spreading the relief.
Thank you for your consideation and any assistance you may be able to share so i can pass it on and help feed some more and improve their lives sustainably.

May 7, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Great work. If we can just get more and more people to see that we are all ONE and the humanity’s well being is a continuous thread that binds us all.
May 7, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Reply to dave vandusen:
You might want to try the Earth Institute at Columbia University, here in the United States. They do a lot of work with Milliennium Promise, Millennium Villiage Project, which is exactly what you describe.
By using high yield seeds, fertilizers, and innovative irrigation techniques, they have proven that increases in producton can be realized. Even if your area isn’t chosen as a ‘villiage’, they should be able to point you in the right direction, since the research has already been done, and put into practical application.
May 7, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Thank you so much for letting us know what is happening with ONE, and that our hearts, efforts, and voices are being heard……..
peace
May 7, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Thank you, Mr. Lane and all fellow ONE members.
I understand the need for Global Collaboration to fight hunger. I witness poverty and hunger every time I vist the Philippines. I do my share to help whenever I could by giving them goods and sending them care packages. The forthcoming shortage of rice in Asia is a real concern.
God bless ONE, God bless all!
May 7, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Thanks David and all of you. Let’s keep it up
May 7, 2008 at 2:58 pm
David, you are truly good people. It takes a man to take a stand, but a bigger/better man to fight the battle. God’s gladator armed with ONE. Stand your ground David. I am with you in spirit.
May 7, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Daviid,
Thank you so much for keeping all of the One members posted with our progress. It’s great to know that what we are doing actually can make a difference!
May 7, 2008 at 3:06 pm
This is what we are all here for, and it makes me feel great that we as one. Can do so much with such little effort.
May 7, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I am so glad that I found out about your organization last month. I feel the same way about poverty as an individual that your organization feels about Poverty–It needs to be made history. I was watching TBN(Trinity Broadcast Network) one sunday, they were having their annual praise-a-thon and one of the pastors speaking stated that the #1 thing that God wanted to get rid of on the earth was poverty and it excited me to know that my desire is the same. I will continue to support any efforts you make to help end poverty.
May 7, 2008 at 3:14 pm
David ~
As an activist in the fight against the ignorance that many leaders around the world lead with I thank you with all of my heart for making our voices heard. Over 20 years ago while in college I became part of a movement started by my brother Paul Carroll. He created a Flag for the people of the World to use as a way to inspire eachother, learn about eachother and to help eachother. I would like to introduce you to that Flag and welcome you and the ONE organization to Fly The World Flag as a symbol of peace and unity in all matters of Global concern. Please reach out to me so that we can continue to work together on the challenges that face our World and the children and people of today and in the coming tomorrows! My family and I will be participating in Pangea Day in the state of Washington.
Sincerely~
John M Carroll

Thanks David and everyone at ONE, I am active with Invisible Children – what we are doing in partnership with ONE is a perfect combination: focusing on making a difference in one place, through very intensive individualized effort (Invisible Children) and maintaining a global focus and awareness (ONE). Thanks for focusing the power of LOVE into action! Keep in touch!

Dear David,
God bless you for all you are doing for those in need! Three years ago I discovered one,org and signed the One Declaration. Until that moment I didn’t realize that people really cared about those impacted by poverty and AIDS. I thought I was alone in my commitment and my passion. This June I leave to serve for a year as a teacher at a Children’s home in Malawi, Africa. David, you will continue to impact one person at a time. One mind and one heart waking up to the crisis of those in need and what they can do about it. No matter how tired you get, or discouraged, or scared, or angry, don’t you EVER forget the difference you are making. I am praying right now that you are encouraged in all that you are taking on. I don’t know if you know God or not, but I can assure you He knows you by name and He is proud of you for responding to the needs of the people He loves. Peace, Maribeth
May 7, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I have chills! We are ONE awesome bunch!
May 7, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I get so caught up in my daily life that I forget that there are people out there who aren’t as blessed. I receive the messages from ONE.ORG and it gives me that nudge that’s like “hey, come on. Don’t just take and take… you gotta give back ,too!” Thanks for bringing me back down to earth and reminding me that there ARE things I can do to make a difference. You inspire me!
May 7, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I need to know if I can find all the information in Spanish, (thanks).
May 7, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Thanks to everyONE who takes positive action to alleviate suffering. Keep up the good work.
May 7, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Wow. These moments make me believe again.
Believe in hope. Believe in humanity
And Believe in myself as one who CAN help.
Thank you David Lane for making this a possibility for people like me.
May 7, 2008 at 4:18 pm
ONE is fantastic, and I applaud everything that the people at ONE and the dedicated volunteers have done to bring attention to World Poverty. Let’s not stop there I say! Do your part to fight WORLD hunger by also fighting hunger at home. Donate or work at a local food shelter or soup kitchen. I challenge everyone to grow a small garden, and donate the entire harvest to the needy. Through a small garden we can help clean some carbon out of the atmosphere, and feed our sisters and brothers here at home; while making more food readily available for those abroad. Let’s end hunger in every corner of every continent. On every block and in every village.
May 7, 2008 at 4:20 pm
David, very good way to show the people like you are doing!
I think, everybody can do a video like this, saying exactly the same, and you tube receive the videos. After that, some politic people, can receive the videos, and understand what means repeat, and repeat always the same!!! Go go go !!!

May 7, 2008 at 4:21 pm
awesome job everyone. This is the kind of feedback and results the world needs right now.
May 7, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Dear David: Congratulation for this victory and I really appreciate all your labour of humanity.
I always be able to help on everything you want for this labour. I live in Mexico City and I’m graphic designer. Just tell me what can I do.
Thanks in the name of the human kind.
May 7, 2008 at 4:31 pm
i am honored to be part of this endeavor; there are many times when i even feel guilty having so much to eat while so many in our world go hungry. you are an inspiration to many!
May 7, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I am proud to be a ONE member. I congratulate David Lane and the whole organization for working so hard to help the human race.I hope I can be of more help to the WORLD. In Argentina poverty and hunger are BIG and SERIOUS issues as well (for different reasons of course).
May 7, 2008 at 5:33 pm
“IMAGINE” there’s no hunger! Imagine all the people living life in peace! We can do it, all together.
We are truly all one world, there is no separation!!! It’s all GOD, it’s all Good!
May 7, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Dear Friends,
The power on ONE is the power of adding one plus one plus one plus one… At the end, we see that ONE becomes more than the mere addition of its members.

Many years ago, I was involved in the Hunger Project, the end of death on the planet by starvation and hunger..and 6 years ago I created a project “End Poverty NOW!!,,Thank you for One and thank for a place where I can further my stand to ending once and for all these conditions from our human experience..Thanks to all the magnificent people willing to say enough is enough
May 7, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I’m so proud of the organization that I almost cried. We must continue to be good stewards of the world and helpers of people. It is our responsibility to feed all the hungry for the ones with all must give to those who don’t. GOD BLESS!!
May 7, 2008 at 6:35 pm
tshirts might be a good way to get the world out. i know a bunch of high school students who would be willing to wear ONE shirts. it might help. but hey, every little bit that we can do to get the word out and raise awareness helps right? i mean it brings in money and support-exactly what we need!
if you start selling anything (tshirts, wristbands, etc.) let us know. =]
May 7, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Thank you so much for keeping us informed and for providing us with an easy way to make a difference. 137,000 voices is a small number in relation to our population size. We should all make a serious effort to spread the word
May 7, 2008 at 6:37 pm
David,
Thanks for the update! Great news! Imagine the great things we can do when we all work together! The video is a great idea…nice to put a name and face together. I’m happy to be a part of ONE and look forward to doing whatever I can in the future.
May 7, 2008 at 6:42 pm
great work guys and a pat on the back for those who signed.
May 7, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Gracias David por ser la principal estrella de este acto tan de corazon y que todos dijimos estamos contigo! Felicitaciones a todos los que dijeron si!
May 7, 2008 at 6:51 pm
The fight is far from over but we have made great strides to alleviate poverty. One day we will live in a world where poverty is nonexistent.
May 7, 2008 at 7:09 pm
“Whatever you do, you do to your self” has never been truer, as far as I understand its meaning.
David Lane has been blessed and has shared a vision that so many individuals can share with him.
David Lane’s e-mail message created an unexpected, but jubliant feelingt; and then It brought tears of joy to read the responses. I feel blessed and grateful everytime One gives caring individuals, like myself, an opportunity to share and give a “helping hand” through their actions. The World has needed and now has a “voice” where politicians can hear the cries of the needy, and the “hearts” of those who hear those cries and want to help. Thank you David Lane for such a “caring heart” and finding a way to connect so many hearts with yours! GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO ONE!
May 7, 2008 at 7:19 pm
May 07, 2008
My ONE Pledge:
I am convinced that many of the challenges facing the poorest people of the world are at least exacerbated, if not caused, by the selfishness, consumerism, and gluttony of the people living in the G8 (the 8 wealthiest nations of the present world). To this extent – I am responsible. I cannot change the behavior of the people of the G8. I can however change my own behavior.
I have decided to adjust my lifestyle as to the luxuries of diet I enjoy in the US. I have decided to eat and drink in a way that, in my mind, approximates the way the poorest people of the world, once rescued by an air drop from the US or UK or Other wealthy nation, might. When we drop food supplies to these people we give them quality, basic, non-perishable items like water, soy, protein powders or drinks, pre-prepared grain based foods (similar to what we, in the US, might carry on a hike).
I am convinced that global warming, extreme poverty, and the unabated spread of curable disease are due, in large part, to our G8 gluttony.
Today (May 7, 2008) I have taken action to alter my ONE way of living as a global citizen. Today – I have cleaned out my cupboards, freezer, refrigerator, and counter tops. I have donated all of my regular food stuffs to others.
Beginning today I will eat and drink only the types of food items I have in my home. If I am away from home I will eat only similar items from elsewhere. The poorest of the world would likely consider themselves blessed to be able to choose from the items remaining in my home. Those items include (and my consumption will be limited to):
1. Water
2. Tea
3. Soy Milk
4. Protein Powder
5. Protein Drinks
6. Fruit Juice
7. Vegetable Juice
8. Protein Bars
I believe that, even with neither wealth nor popular platform, we can affect positive change ONE person at a time. With this belief in mind – I choose today – to eat and drink in this simple manner – until everyone in the world is rescued from the horrors of extreme poverty and disease.
To what near-term practical end? Living this way will substantially reduce what I spend each month on eating and drinking. I will plan to donate the difference to local and global efforts to feed those who are too poor to provide basic nutrition and clean water for themselves.
To what long-term practical end? The G8 nations have, within their collective control, the resources required to join together and end these horrors today. May my grandbabies know what it is to be citizens of a wealthy nation which has devoted itself and its resources to this end. May we one day actually choose to do so and then know what it is to live in a world entirely free from extreme poverty and curable disease. As ONE of the wealthiest people in the world, as “DAD”, as “Papa”, and as “Friend” – I accept this as my responsibility.

Thank you David Lane for your perserverance toward alleviating world hunger. When each of us takes action (no matter how small), it is a statement that we are not satisfied with the way people without opportunity survive.
My pledge to One.org and other organizations that work toward putting an end to world hunger is steadfast.
How about you?

Using YouTube.com was great. The message had relevance, and it was short & to the point.
May 7, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Mr. Lane, thank you for your diligence and hard work; as well as everyone else who works for ONE, and gives it a voice! Thank you for all the updates, as well. It is good to know that so many people care about the tragedies of extreme poverty and all its effects. It has been a lack of care – or not caring enough – that has made this such a catastrophe for so many, in the first place. Together, people can make a difference. It is great to get updates bearing news of successes because so many ONE members responded and gave the voiceless a voice in the Western world. Keep up the great work! And, hopefully, extreme poverty will soon be something in the history books, and far more people around the world will then be alive and have the health, food, income, and education to be able to read those history books. God bless!
May 7, 2008 at 8:21 pm
I have been a ONE member from the beginning and all these victories small or large means action is being taken to save our people, wildlife and our amazing earth. They all tie into ONE.
Thank you, David.

IT’S WORTHWHILE AND SELF-REWARDING TO BE ONE WITH O.N.E. IT’S A SMALL STEP GAINING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
I HOPE WE COULD ALSO FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENT.
MY HOME COUNTRY, THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, WHERE MANY POOR FAMILIES LIVING UNDER $1 A DAY IS ESPECIALLY AFFECTED BY THE SOARING FOOD PRICES. AND ONE FACTOR ATTRIBUTABLE TO THIS IS THE RISING GAS PRICE. IF WE COULD ALSO ENCOURAGE OIL EXPORTING COUNTRIES TO CONTROL THE PRICE OF OIL, PERHAPS THE CHAIN REACTION IT CAUSES TO BASIC COMMODITIES COULD BE PREVENTED.
MAY GOD BLESS ONE.ORG.
May 7, 2008 at 8:32 pm
David is inspiring to help you realize “ONE” does count !!! Remember -Get your VOICE heard whatever it is – politics,rights,-fight for what you beleive in-IT DOES COUNT .”U tube” is a great way to communicate the progress of “ONE” -I am horored to be part of it -keep it coming! short but to the point.
May 7, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Amazing. God is bigger than any hunger crisis, and he has shown it here by using his believers and unbelievers alike.
May 7, 2008 at 9:01 pm
THANKS DAVID FOR GIVING US ANOTHER VOICE TO BE HEARD OUR PRAYERS GO UP EVERYDAY AND THEY ARE BEING ANSWERED
May 7, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Praise the Lord because without His help and ours, it will be impossible to make this type of changes in this world. God Bless this organization and each member.
May 7, 2008 at 9:53 pm
It is such a great pride to see that there are people who cares.
Like ONE.org.
Good job, keep it up..
May 7, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Just to inform those in charge, that I’m the same person as the U2 Email address. I, regretfully, had to change to this format due to having difficulties retrieving my ONE emails. I have been a member since 2005, and absolutely love staying informed and involved. That’s why it’s important to me to be able to receive these wonderful updates from Dave. God Bless all of you, and expect to hear more from me now that I’m able to receive my mail.
May 7, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I am honored to be “one” with all of you. Thank you David for leading and thank you to my new family of One.org. Together, one by one, we will make a difference in the lives of our bothers and sisters of the world.
To you, the readers of this post, please tell everyone you know about one.org.

I have tried several times to unsub from all the messages I am getting on this blog. Is there a valid email contact of someone who can help me? I am being overwhelmed by so many messages. I cannot even listen to the video (I am deaf).
May 8, 2008 at 12:00 am
I am humbled and honored to be a small part of a group of caring people that have been given a way
to express their desire to help alleviate world hunger. The message seems especially poingnant as we receive these reports from Myanmar tonight.

This is tremendous news. My son is currently serving in Djibouti and part of his mission is humanitarian. The conditions are horrific and he is in a “developed” area. Help us to keep the eyes of the nation and the decision makers on this. The election campaign is hiding all this so we will have to speak a little more loudly just to be heard.

David,
I am so happy to hear that ONE is accomplishing so much! I am proud to be a member of this organization and this campaign.
There is a line in a song that many people here shall recognize….. “One is the loneliest number there will ever be”…..
For the people this organization is helping to feed… one is a lonely number solely for them.. however with the help of this organization ONE is a wonderful and compassionate number now! Keep up the wonderful work you are doing and those of us here that are helping… to all of you… keep up the wonderful humanitarian work also! They need our help! As I have just stated it takes more then one lonely sole it takes all of us that form ONE! Bless each and every one of you and most of all bless the work of David Lane and ONE.org!!
May 8, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Thank-you to David and All One volunteers for your dedication to this global issue. I for one am grateful to be a One member and encouraging others to be a One member, we will eradicate proverty standing with ONE voice. Seeing proverty first hand in Africa it is the cry of my heart in assisting in even the small ways in signing petitions and encouraging others to do so as well.

Amazing! David, Thank you so much for realizing the ugency of this issue. I am a 6th grade middle school student and although I am young I hope I can take action along with everyone here. If you or anyone here has advice about what I can do to help around my school and get my classmates educated about this please respond to this. I have tried handing out flyers to ask my class to participate. Most of the time I find them on the floor. If you have any other ideas please tell me asap.
Thanks!
May 8, 2008 at 9:42 pm
David, thank you for this email – it was great to finally match a name and a face. THANK YOU for all you do to fight poverty. Your emails make it easy to give support – a click and/or donation and you do so much more!!
May 8, 2008 at 10:58 pm
We DID IT!!!! Next up: G8 Summit in Japan, July 2008 WOOOHOOOO!!!! Come on everyone, let’s make poverty history!!
May 9, 2008 at 11:23 am
The work being done is commendable and truly a blessing for many but, when are we going to learn that the so called leaders of this world including and the Bush regime don’t give a dam about anyone except for themselves and their blood line. They have absolutely no regard for human life but their own. We are dealing in a very dark world ruled and controlled by very wicked and evil men. Why do you think we are going through all of this insanity and why there are organizations such as yourself? All of this has been manufactured and created by those in control and will continue until we really wake up to the real truth.
There will never be any peace until God is at the conference table.
Again the work you are doing is awesome, but none of this is ever going to change until we all wake up to the truth. As a matter of fact it is going to get worse and we in the good ole USA are going to get a major wake up call real soon. We are soon to wake up and think that we are in the twilight zone. The writing is on the wall. When are we going to read it?
Thank you.
May 9, 2008 at 6:19 pm

Thank YOU so much for the Video David!!.. Nice of you…;)
May 9, 2008 at 6:33 pm
They’re so dedicated to the campaign! And it’s good how they give us updates on what’s happening and what the G8 is doing to help etc this way we don’t just sign a petition and forget about it, we actually remember it and think about it.
May 9, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Thank you David & congratulation to all ONE members
May 9, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Well done all ONE members for signing the petition.I believe that we, coming from wealthier countries should help our brothers and sisters living in poverty in Africa, Asia and South America as much as we can. To think that children at a very young age are screaming for food and water in poverty stricken countries makes me feel that we must do whatever we can to help them. I’m very proud to be a part of the ONE movement. It must be sheer hell for those young children in poverty stricken countries. I believe we must do everything we can to help them and I know Jesus would be very proud of the good work the ONE movement and all it’s menbers, like all of you are doing. from Gordon, Australia

May 10, 2008 at 6:11 am
Dear,
stunami incident had given us lession.There was commitment of the leader in area area to value that peace and reconciliation is critical.The former U.s president Bill Clinton then the peace envoy has more about what happen as efforts to reconstruction.Billions of dollar were pledged by donor but how much has been used actualy was another disaster.
I strongly argue the G8 summit leaders to Japan that commitments is different from pledges.We need actions and commitment ito be made meaning full.These leads should continue with the global responsilities to save lives.
The declaration stated neeo become obligation;137,000 ONE members have signed our petition to President Bush, asking him to lead the G8 – a group of the world’s richest and most powerful countries – in taking action to alleviate the impact this crisis is having on people around the world.
Rising prices for staple foods and low crop yields for the world’s poorest farmers have created a silent tsunami that threatens to push 100 million people deeper into poverty.
The petition you signed asked for two things:
1. For the G8 to prioritize issues of global poverty, including the world hunger crisis, on the agenda of the G8 Summit this July in Japan.
2. And for President Bush to secure commitments at the G8 summit for additional resources for all types of food assistance and increased agricultural productivity in developing countries.
Last week, we delivered your petitions to the White House adding your voice to the growing call for action. I am pleased to be able to share with you some of the work that’s already being done to help end the hunger crisis.
Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda put the global hunger crisis on the agenda for the G8 summit, as part of a broad commitment to fighting global poverty. That is an important victory, because Japan is hosting this July’s G8 summit, where international commitments to fight poverty will be made.
In the United States, President Bush made an initial pledge of $200 million in American food assistance and followed that up last week with a call for Congress to approve $770 million in food assistance and investment in agricultural infrastructure in the developing world.
Getting the hunger crisis onto the G8’s poverty fighting agenda, and securing pledges of increased food assistance and investment in agricultural development adds up to a big win. It’s a testament to the power of grassroots action against even the toughest challenges global poverty presents.
Our next step is to secure commitments at the G8 Summit this summer and at other funding opportunities, for the fight against extreme poverty and global disease.
Thanks for adding your voice to the call for action to end the hunger crisis.
Thank you sincerely,
Opio Moses korsuk

I am an incoming fourth year nursing student here in the Philippines. I would just like to ask how can i be more in touched in the series of projects of O.N.E i would really like to personally do somethings and be a part of this global movement in alleviating the food scarcity.. i would appreciate to hear from you.. i would really like to help and devote my time to this..
May 10, 2008 at 6:59 am
I grew up as a son of a Christian Development consultant who works with NGOs and POs in alleviating poverty in Africa and Asia. Here in the Philippines, World Hunger is manifested locally as higher food prices are driving the poor down. The work that ONE is doing is tremendously encouraging to me and a blessing to the world’s poor. I am currently working with the government in lowering carbon emissions in the country to prevent climate change/global warming. It is my hope that ONE can also collaborate with work against climate change and global warming, given that climate change/global warming could possibly create extreme problems in agriculture, marine life, and fresh water ecology that will then again result to drive World Hunger up, in unimaginable ways. I know for a fact that there are environmentalists out there that are already blinded by their environmental work. But there are still a number of environmentalists that are genuinely concern about environmental disasters that will affect the poor even worse than where we are now. God bless!
May 10, 2008 at 7:11 am
David*s speech is very timely and I feel that the rest of the world will learn enormously from it by not puttting food production resources into production of mechanic fuel. It is regretable to see soya beans used in the production of epensive fuel for engines. I these people ask themselves one question *can a driver live on engine fuel? African countries are suffering rom food shortages, and if some advanced countries have this excess, please, let them donate to these poor states. I will devote much of my time to give regular ideas on methods of salvaging the food crisis in some countries in Africa like Cameroon….

Hello everybody,
I am a citizen of Amsterdam, The netherlands, and I also own a compound in West-Africa.
I know Africa very well and in my opinion it is NOT ABOUT MONEY !.
The suffering Africans need WISE and RELIABLE GOVERNMENTS.
If these governments would accept the EXPERIENCE and the help of EX- SECRETARIES OF STATES of f.i. Europe and the U.S.A. than there is hope.
Also INDUSTRIALIZATION is the answer.
At the end ; AFRICA HAS TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS !

Please, I wish to express my gratitude to you for your tremendous efforts and achievements in try to change the live of Africans, most especially in Nigeria. But, your Projects are mostly one-sided considering the fact that it doesn’t reach the poor man at the grassroot.
I came from one typical village in Plateau State in Central Nigeria. These villages have been so long been marginalized since when the Missionaries left Nigeria. If you are opportune to visit these communities today you will weep because there is no portable water, no health facility, no access road, no electricity, the Local Government, State, and Federal Government have neglected these communities due to corruption. The communities are Maijuju, Nabar, Reseh, Zigam, Zandi, Nakwang, and Dorong.
Therefore, I solicit for your support if your projects could be extended to these communities so that they could be carried along. No any NGO have ever visited these villages for any project, and our youths instead of staying at these villages, they are running to town in search of greener pasture. To that effect, the Agriculture has been neglected and if nothing is done before the year 2009, the members of these communities will starve to death.
I want to challenge the “ONE MEMBERS” to come to our aid and see to our problems and possibly address them.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Dear David and all ONE members who are spending sleepless nights to sse to it that we overcome the scourge called Poverty & Hunger.
I take this opportunity to notify you that as you will witness from below message from UNAIDS, our organization which is a Community Based Organization based at Kariobangi South Location, Embakasi Division Nairobi Kenya and a ONE Member, has been accredited to participate in the High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS to be held from June 9 to 12 2008 we are supposed to send two delegates namely our Secretary Florida Were Odongo who lives positively with AIDS and myself.
We are supposed to arrive there on June 5th, unfortunately us you all know, we have been undergoing a very difficult financial times owing to the Post Election Violence and currently our organization is not in a position to sponsor anyone of us for this trip
It is on this background I am writing to you kindly requesting you to fund raise for us to enable our participation in this worthwhile event.
We thank you all in advance

To: kaswesha@gmail.com
We are pleased to inform you that your application for accreditation to the High-level Meeting on
HIV/AIDS (HLM) has been favorably acted upon by the United Nations General Assembly. The
official letter conveying this information is attached. You may print the letter to support your
application for a US visa, should you require one.
In light of the existing restriction on travel to the US by people living with HIV, the US Government
has declared the HLM a “designated event.” This will allow waivers to be granted at U.S.
Consulates to accredited HLM delegates who are living with HIV. More information about the US
travel restrictions for people living with HIV will be forthcoming.
Please check the UNAIDS website
(http://www.unaids.org/en/Conferences/2008HLM/2008HLM_CivilSociety.asp) for updates
Thank you and we hope that you will be able to participate in the HLM and related events which
will take place in New York from 9-12 June 2008.

David ,
i am impressed with what i see as for human survival becouse one organisation is always making a first move to lobby or advocate to world leaders to come to our aid in Africa where bad governanceansd leadership,corruption, poverty, hunger,and un-employment and as well deadly diseases like HIV/AIDS,malaria and tuberculosis are ravaging human socities.
what i saw today has a significance and will surely make an impact if listened to. I my support and promise to partner with ONE organisation in carrying out a community project in my state in nigeria which was officially declare most poorest before 2007 election.

there is enough for all… it just takes sharing the resources of the planet and managing them wisely. The more we cooperate the less suffering there will be in the world. An end of suffering and poverty will come when humanity realizes how to work together for the good of all and that true happiness comes from loving others as equally as we love ourselves.

Hello David and all the dedicated hardworkers of ONE..
Greetings from the Philippines!
I hope that ONE somehow reaches my fellow Filipinos. There are so many children deprived of their basic human rights and food is a luxury of those who can afford.
I’ve seen people go on one meal a day and its a great injustice. No one should have to exist this way. Thank you ONE for giving hope and letting us know that the spirit of brotherhood is alive and well. God bless your efforts and your hearts.

that it can change, we just need to make it happen.
With love all things are possible, with action all things will come to be.

To me, I discovered that what seems to be the greatest problem in this world that needs urgent solution is that:
(1.) We allow problems to live before finding solution in the humanitarian needs.
(2.)
May 13, 2008 at 4:46 am
I love that, it is a good development in the history of solution findings. Which will help us a long way to chase-away some terrible problems in terms of hunger strike that is rocking the world.
But to me, I discovered that what seems to be the greatest problem in this world that needs urgent solution is that:
(1.) The opened way to sucess in the wasteful life has brought about gridiness in the midst of our leaders to help solving the problems
(2.) Government refuses to finance the right people who are ready to farm for the supplus of food but they embezle the money for their own interest.
(3.) Money to be given at a lower rate interest to the farmers, will be given to their families, other at a higher rate of interest which can even cause depress to the ability of a farmer to perform very well.
(4.) We allow problems to live before finding solution in the humanitarian needs.
(5.) People die because it is too late for them to meet with the solution found(discovered).
(6) And that we allow nepotisim, selfishness(self-interest) reign in our midst(Leaders) esp. in Africa.
CONSEQUENCE
We had forgotten that what seems to be right to you today will be wrong to you tommorrow no matter your academic, financial and social quality.
This will brings about death rate if not crime(war).

David,you are doing a great job.Basically one org needs to have representatives worldwide.The world has some fertile uncultivated land & arid & semi arid land..In the third world there is low food harvest old methods of farming,which is contributed by poverty.People cannot afford to hire machinery or use fertilizers or irrigate.Good if experts are sent all over,not in the cities but villages.As hunger is bad & mankind is at times tempted with greediness,may a board be formed that will make sure the poor don,t suffer this tsunami.shipments & storage should be planned in advance.
David,please forward our voices.
You are doing a great job.Congratulations.

Gracias David por este acto tan generoso. Los latinos también decimos presente unidos podemos hacer mucho. En Puerto Rico estamos sufriendo la crisis que sufre el resto del mundo. Quisas a estos millonarios no les interese mucho pero su conciencia (si es que la tienen) los traicionara. Felicitaciones a todos los que digan SI.
God bless you David and all ONE’s members.

I bless you good work David and all ONE’’s members all over the world. I appreciate all good suggestions and doings that can bring urgent solutions that will suit people’s lives in this humanly unorgnized world of theirs.
Dear president, I believe so much in America, especially if it comes to the individual opinion in the spirited(Blessed) land of America. So also I believe that the President has a long way to solve some problems rocking soem parts of the world, problems like:
(1.) Puting finla stop to the terrible war between Iraq and Quate
(2.) Removal of the soul of the number 1 terrorist of the world(Sadam)
(3.) Costant visits to solve the issues of sicknesses rocking some parts of Africa e.g Malaria, TB, AID/HIV epidemics.
(4.) Visit to elaborate some newly introduced democratic government in some African Countries e.g Nigeria etc.
(5.) Injecting proper channel of the spirit of goodwills to some leaders around the world.
(6.) Visit to ensure the whole world becomes one and a conducive environment for all in years to come(future).
(7.) Ensure that hunger strike becomes things of the past in all nations of the world.
(8.) Ensure that best and good education, shelter, clothing, innovations and conviniency becomes stable and come to exist in individual of the world.
(9.) Endure that the efficiencies of the terrorists in the world become inconviniencies, insufficiencies and difficulties for them against their plans day and night.
(10.) Campaigning stability and existence of peace, love, frienship, loyalty, transparency, law-abiding, responsiblitiy, self-humble, selfishless, self-reliance, self-employed, self-innovation, competency, self-productivity, integrity, accountability and realiablity, all these come to stay and exist among the people of the world.
I pray that God Almighty that had been leading you to do some other than the above will contiunue to help you in Jesus Name(Amen). I a Nigerian but I say a very big kudos to you for your effective contributions to the good lives acheived. And I said form the bottom of my heart “GOD BLESS AMERICA”
Kindly help to stabilize the ONE.Org, because I am able to express my gratitude through the organization. I pray that God will continue to empower you Mr. President and David and all ONE’s Members all overthe world.
Thank you very much.

To the Glory of God, I must confess that you are doing something good in every level. I am impressed.
Let us come to thingk about it. I suggested that Farming, Industrialization and Self-employed can solve this problem.
But to me, I will not buy the idea of leaving Africa behind and that they should find solutions to their problems.
Because, one hand cannot lift load to head-level unless with the support of the second hand.
Let us join hand and do these things together. According one popular saying “when powers are joined together, they can cut through iron.
Thanks for your laudable and immeasurable efforts.

David: One’s org, Bless to all members.
No creo que a los millonarios que gobiernan los paises les interese ayudar a los pobres pero hay que seguir adelante. Suerte.
I don’t think that the millionaires care about poverty but keep going somebody must hear your voice.
Glad to a part of such a wonderful organization, hope this effort will keep spreading globally.
May 15, 2008 at 8:56 am
that’s a big step towards change ,i wish you all the best and i feel so proud to be part of this organisation make this information fly to every one,already it is walking in Africa.
May 15, 2008 at 11:47 am
when we ask ourselves,what role we play on this world,David has the response.Being there for one another.One voice unites the world.The heart of a human being should not be stonny but kind.Equal distribution of resources brings peace all over.God then is able to bless us.whatever donations come buy,let them reach all religious leaders,goverment representatives & non goverment organizations.
All is possible through good networking.
Be blessed David & all one org members.
May 15, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Thank you for your leadership and efforts in bringing the world’s need to the attention of others. We MUST work together to eliminate the ills of humanity, greed for power and possessions. The gifts that the Lord has given us (natural resources, intelligence, etc..) MUST be used for the welfare of all humanity. If we don’t learn to work together – we will all lose in the end.

I have never heard about this until a few months ago!!! When I signed thet first petition it made me feel good known that is was helping someone i didn’t even know!!!
May 18, 2008 at 10:32 pm
We give money to Feed the Children. We also give to the homeless we see on the street. We don’t have a lot of money ourselves but we realize that we all brothers and sisters and we need to help those who are in need. Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Altertsons grocery stores have cards by the cashier that you can donate for $1.00, $3,00. & $5.00. We give 3 X $5.00. I talk to those in line with me about donating to those who are without. Sometimes people donate but generally they do not. How sad it is that people neglect to take the opportunity to make others happy. I would like to suggest that those who read this message give what they feel they can afford at the above stores. You will be glad you did. God Bless!

Thank you, One for all you are doing and for making each of us aware of the problems that exist beyond the scope of our own horizon. David, you have done an awesome job in helping educate us and in getting us to make those calls and sign petitions. Kudos to you!

I just spent 2 week’s vacation in Namibia. Hotels were luxurious but the travel company I went with, SAGA, included visits to the townships outside the 2 main cities. This was excellent. We all saw how 90% of the people in this beautiful country live. Some of it was heartening but other parts were not so good. The people have nothing but they welcomed us and were polite even when starving. They share everything they have with their neighbours. We could all learn a lot from just experiencing the friendliness and respect those brave and beautiful people have for themselves and the world.
I will go back to Africa. I can help some people by just giving them some paper and pencils for their schools and by hugging and kissing the children who will hopefully live in a better place than at present.
May 24, 2008 at 8:23 am
i support one.com program to fight a hunger crisis at this world…on my country we also had an economic crisis,and that way many people leaving as a poor people…I Support your campaign..Go FOWARD
May 26, 2008 at 4:09 am
I am in total support of the ANTI-HUNGER FINGHTING, for in my country we face a lot of ECONOMY WAR alongside with our day-to-day activities inluding midnight theft activities which had led some good and responsible citizens to untimely and premature death.
So how cna we now be looking at an issue we can resolve ourselve to continue killing us. Immagine, in our area there’s a saying that “what has no hands, mouth and leg(life) mustn’t be knowledgeable that human being” so what are we saying in essence, ONE.Org(David) should continue. By the reason of blood of Jesus Christ, I am wiht you in the Lord.
Thanks alot.
May 27, 2008 at 12:04 pm
David,you are doing great.Support is on our way.
Next we need a worldwide special day of prayer against hunger.Good to involve all religious sect.Good to keep God in all that we do.
May 27, 2008 at 5:26 pm
This is a great way to make an important statement, thank you for letting us be a part of it all.
We’re the ones who made the planet this way; we’re the ones who can take it back.
Take care

I keep giving thanks to God Almighty for this idea and insight. This really reminded me an instance in the Bible when people the earth wanted to build a tower to God. Am sure that was the only moment God Himself has expresses a little bit of fussy about His own created beings. He realized that nothing could stop them building the tower so He MIX-UP and Confuses their Language so that no one will understand each other. GOD IS GREAT AND ALL KNOWING. When ONE.org speaks with one voice miracle happen. Let us continue with this spirit to affect the world positively and generations will forever be grateful to us. God Bless Us All.
Please you can publish my e-mail address. I want others should shear thoughts with me.
