ONE members from all around the world submitted questions for the launch of ONE’s 2009 DATA Report today. These were voted on by members earlier this week to decide which would be posed to the panel this morning. The winning question came from ONE member Simon Sentamu in Tanzania who asked:

Why should we Africans expect Pres. Sarkorzy, Chancellor Merkel and PM Berlusconi to live up to their 2005 promises and Gleneagles commitments while many of our leaders are not living up to their promises to eliminate grand corruption nor are they meeting their commitments to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM)?

And this morning in London, the DATA Report launch panel answered:

    is intresting the progress you have made, it would be good to put the same intrest in the central and south american continent, who also faces extreme poverty, aids, and internal conflict.
    a division of the one.org for latin america is necesary

    In our country,Iran we have a magazine,once I was reading it and I saw a very nice sentence which was deeply moving!
    “Maybe all the human being needs nothing much more that a little impression”.
    In this world that Love ang Feeling is lost and every thing is compared with mone people behave like knights to each other! I am always begging to god for our sins!
    One of may friends always says to me: “Lets laugh toghether,not laugh to each other”

    Hola soy Michel y soy un super fan de U2, también admiro mucho la labor social que hace Bono por los niños de africa, por eso me registre en esta organización, pero también me encantaria que U2 viniera en su gira de 360 tour aqui a México porque los extrañamos mucho, y me encanto su ultimo album.

    ONE is where we can find ourselves istead of that child who is waiting for a litlle help from other countries.But as it seems all human kind act like knight to each other! In my country(Iran) you can see many people who don’t know how to spend their money on the other side you can see many people who are looking for just a peace of bread to eat.Here there is many differences between Inner part and selected part of city.
    I don’t know how I can tell it.But I know that God still loves us!
