Milenium Goals

[Ruben]

Hi there, all of you!

The world is changing.
people live in hunger and without education...
I think, everyone can start making a difference.

Has anyone heard about the millenium goals?
189 countries toghether have signed these goals.

you can check them at http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/

what do you think about it,
and..

what are you, as a designer, do about it.
I hope to have some reactions!

thanks

Its funny that its by the UN since they are synonymous with not being able to agree on anything it seems; so its funny they agree on this.

I really like how this one person started the $100 Laptop project, One Laptop Per Child OLPC,

This will definitely help towards that goal of getting better education especially in Africa, another company is giving cell phones that are inexpensive for people down there to keep in communication. There are a lot of good projects going on there is also one called The PEACE Plan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.E.A.C.E._Plan

Its pretty interesting.
