Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
Recently, one of our adult education classes discussed the United Nations MDG which outlines the commitment of the international community to halve the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. These goals, set in 2000, have been signed by each of the 192 representative countries of the United Nations.
While much work needs to be done, the good news is that people living in extreme poverty (defined as living on less than $1.25 a day) has declined from l.8 billion to 1.4 billion between 1990 and 2005.
If you are not familiar with the goals of the MDG, the are:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower
women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other
diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for
development

Light hearted: Members of a junior high youth group in Wisconsin did a study of the apostles. One young lass wrote, "The worst apostle was Judas Asparagus. He was evil and that's why they named that terrible vegetable after him." |
