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.
