Thanks Chris for this info. I’ll support ONE’s efforts on FB & Twitter this weekend to STAND UP against extreme poverty.
Still, I think it’s important to remind people that extreme poverty is a much more entrenched than what we can do this weekend and that we must continue to work on these issues of economic & moral justice during the entire year if we truly want to reach our goals.
I’ve been gone from the ONE Blog for a few weeks but I’m glad to return.
AS ONE, debbie
