You’re amazing. Thank you.
For months now, we’ve been asking our ONE members to give it all they have on our vaccine campaign. We asked our members to use every advocacy tool and skill they had to make sure that we won this important fight to save 4 million children in five years. Thanks to this hard work we generated more than 300,000 signatures on our petition.
ONE members sent hundreds of letters to members of parliament in the UK, and in the USA we swamped the Whitehouse with tweets. In South America our volunteers recruited thousands of new members who have added to the weight of our international voice. In Australia ONE members called and emailed the foreign minister’s office, and in Germany the outstanding youth messengers were hard at work gathering support.
Because of your skill at advocacy, your hard work and a ton of determination, it worked. We won!
On Monday in London, world leaders and private donors promised a remarkable $4.3 Billion over the next 5 years – this exceeded the $3.7billion that we hoped for. When Bill Gates announced he was contributing a billion dollars to the fund, he mentioned our campaigning work in his speech.
This really has been a historic week and our Executive Director Jamie Drummond made this video to thank you.
As a campaigner for ONE, I can’t tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you and you all should be very proud of yourselves.
It just goes to show that when we use our voices and work together, we can make amazing, lasting change in the world. So, give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back and tell us how you feel in the comments below. Thanks to you, millions of kids around the world have a brighter future.

My husband and I love the way you address all of us in such personal terms that make us feel that the little effort of reading your mail actually contributes to the Cause of the day. I also like the suggestion by other participants that we come up with our very own anthem. I believe this can be achieved by requesting sympathetic composers to come up with appropriate lyrics and we can all get involved by singing the chorus on-line and recording it for the world.
In the meantime, we are very proud to be part of ONE.com
29/06/2011 at 4:05 pm
good work, i’m glad it success

It is always better that we share our wealth with everybody, it is wrong that some die for nothing just he/she is born in the wrong part of the world.
Let us share more and make ourselves habitants of the world and not just your own country.
02/07/2011 at 1:43 pm
support children as a future nation and women as Gods instruments of creation.

It gives me great joy to be part of this amazing result, it’s really unbelievable to see what happens when people decide to get together and fight for a great cause. many of us may not think that by sumply giving our email to form part of an organization, may mean something, but if u truly believe in your heart in the cause that you area fighting for, things will fal into place and great things will come out as a result.
thank u for giving me the oppportunity.

Dear Brothers,
I am very proud! ONE is a blessed mechanism to spread love, to spread the fairness among our brothers suffering from the terrible profits that arise from the selfishness. Lots of diseases are killing in virtue of the absent conditions within the poverty. Surely, the resources are elsewhere, and ONEs turn out to depict the lack. We are ONEs, but very important ONEs.
