Tonight, a mother lies awake, nurturing hope for a brighter future for her children. She hopes that they will grow up healthy and strong, that they will be educated and will live up to their full potential. This mother is a widow in Palestine, a teacher in London, a refugee in Afghanistan. They are bound together – as we all are – by similar hopes for a better tomorrow. Our lives are woven of the same fabric. By working to fulfil basic human rights – adequate food, clean water,quality education, proper healthcare and economic opportunity – we can help communities overcome poverty and develop to their full potential. Together, we can effect real, positive change for the world. By the power of our shared commitment we can bring a end to poverty.
