    Stop Child Soldiers
    "ONE DEATH IS A TRAGEDY, A MILLION DEATHS IS A STATISTIC." -Joseph Stalin




    POVERTY STATISTICS


    "Statistics are another word for problems with the tears wiped away"




    -
    “The lives of 1.7 million children
    will be needlessly lost this year [2000] because world governments have failed to reduce poverty levels”


    Around the world, some 26,500 children die every day.


    That is equivalent to:


    *1 child dying every 3 seconds

    *18 children dying every minute

    *A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring every week

    *An Iraq-scale death toll every 15–36 days

    *Almost 10 million children dying every year

    *Some 60 million children dying between 2000 and 2006




    The silent killers are poverty, hunger, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. In spite of the scale of this daily/ongoing catastrophe, it rarely manages to achieve, much less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage.

    -The developing world now spends $13 on debt repayment for every $1 it receives in grants.

    Define Necessity's Page

    -A few hundred millionaires now own as much wealth as the world’s poorest 2.5 billion people.

    -“The 48 poorest countries account for less than 0.4 per cent of global exports.”

    "The war against terror is bound up in the war against poverty." -Secretary of State Colin Powell

    *War is also a cause of poverty just as poverty can help set the stages of war.*




    Instead of this money going to kill people, imagine if it was spent to save people and destroy some of the underlying causes of war...


    -“Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific.”

    About this photo


    According to UNICEF, 30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”

    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
    -That is about 210,000 children each week, or just under 11 million children under five years of age, each year.

    -“Today, across the world, 1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar a day; 3 billion live on under two dollars a day; 1.3 billion have no access to clean water.



    BUT THERE IS HOPE...



    At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing 191 nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

    Set for the year 2015, the MDGs are an agreed set of goals that can be achieved if all actors (participants) work together and do their part. Poor countries have pledged to govern better, and invest in their people through health care and education. Rich countries have pledged to support them, through aid, debt relief, and fairer trade. The eight MDG's are:

    MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
    MDG 2: Achieve universal primary education


    MDG 3: Promote gender equality and empower women
    MDG 4: Reduce child mortality


    MDG 5: Improve maternal health
    MDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other diseases


    MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
    MDG 8: Develope a global partnership for development


    There is an ENORMOUS uniting of people ALL across our planet to help end extreme poverty. Hope is growing. New methods are advancing. Lives...are...being ...saved!..

    It is inspiring to see this global uniting, here are links to the biggest poverty fighting sites of each country.

    Winter Color Splash

    Winter Color Splash

    ~What An Immense Power Over The Life Is The Power Of Possessing Distinct Aims.
    The Voice, The Dress, The Look, The Very Motions Of A Person, Define And Alter
    When He Or She Begins To Live For A Reason. Nothing Contributes So Much To Tranquilize
    The Mind As A Steady Purpose; A Point On Which The Soul May Fix Its Intellectual Eye.
    Unless You Give Yourself To Some Great Cause, You Haven't Even Begun To Live.
    To Live Means To Have ... A Mission To Fulfill-And In The Measure In Which We Avoid Setting
    Our Life To Something, We Make It Empty. An Aim In Life Is The Only Fortune Worth Finding.
    A Useless Life Is An Early Death. You Must Have Long-Range Goals To Keep You From Being
    Frustrated By Short-Range Failures. The World Stands Aside To Let Anyone Pass Who Knows
    Where They Are Going, So Pack Your Belongings And Begin Your Journey. ~

    "Live The Life You Have Imagined."
          -H.D. Thoreau

    Happy Holidays.

    “The Great Architect may be a metaphor alluding to the godhead potentiality of every individual. That invisible power which all know does exist, but understood by many different names, such as God, Spirit, Supreme Being, Intelligence, Mind, Energy, Nature and so forth.  The Great Architect is also an allusion to the observer created universe. We create our own reality; hence we are the architect. Another way would to be to say that the mind is the builder”.

    I've listend to this song thousands of times but today i saw a bumper sticker on a car that read: Support our Troops, Bring them home, ALIVE!

    Today I watched this video for the first time, the music is still good but the wars have been around too long now. Time to lay down our weapons. Share food, technology, wealth, education, medical supplies, and love.

    mars, red, planet Pictures, Images and PhotosCheck it out, guess no one will get much sleep in August. Mars The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN!Earth Pictures, Images and Photos

    My brothers and sisters around the world, Do not despair, do not lose heart, I am with you.
    In spirit I travel by your side, I fight the deepest oceans, the hottest deserts, the changing tides.
    I hold your hand and I bow my head in prayer, I love with you, I cry with you, I laugh with you
    I am a part of you. Maybe we have never seen each others face or held each others hand.
    Perhaps we have never walked down the same streets or traveled to each others land.
    Yet I am with you, as certain as the sun that rises, as steady as the moon that lights the way by night.
    I am steady, tried and true, I am one with you. May you and yours be blessed!!!
