International
Party conference season continues
Prime Minister Gordon Brown speaks at the ONE event.
Last week ONE was at the Labour Party conference, where we held an event to launch our ONE Vote campaign as well as celebrating 1Goal and the fact that the football World Cup will be held in Africa for the first time ever next year.
We were lucky to be joined by the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, who spoke about the issues. Two footballers also spoke, South African captain Aaron Mokoena and John Utaka, who plays for Nigeria and Portsmouth. They were followed by Glenys Kinnock, Minister for Europe, and Douglas Alexander, the Minister for International Development.
The ONE team is now in Manchester for the Conservative Party Conference, which started earlier this week, and we’re getting ready to host a reception this evening. We’ll be blogging more about the event soon so please stay tuned.

It takes all kinds of concerned souls to generate enthusiasm, and collective work to continue to look for solutions that can help alleviate the suffering of millions of people all over the world. I am pleased to know that the International ONE organization promotes noticeable efforts to achieve humanitarian results. Congratulations to all of you for your endless efforts to this end.
