What are the Millennium Development Goals?
The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest.
"We will have time to reach the Millennium Development Goals – worldwide and in most, or even all, individual countries – but only if we break with business as usual.
We cannot win overnight. Success will require sustained action across the entire decade between now and the deadline. It takes time to train the teachers, nurses and engineers; to build the roads, schools and hospitals; to grow the small and large businesses able to create the jobs and income needed. So we must start now. And we must more than double global development assistance over the next few years. Nothing less will help to achieve
the Goals."

I said that there is response in responsibility. The only response that I would accept to the tragedy is a moral response. All other responses—theological, psychological—they have problems, but this one has no problems. Simply to say, that because of that, we must humanize history, humanize destiny, humanize humanity, and we do so through responsibility; we are responsible for it, and to it.

Even if we cannot, we must. If there is no hope, we must invent it and we can invent it. If we with our work help only one human being, then we should do it, and we can usually
help more. The main thing is we help ourselves by speaking up; we have an image of ourselves, a sense of responsibility that must be demonstrated by intervening, by shouting, by
protesting.

About me:
We need intervention; we needed the intervention of intellectuals, of moralists, of decent people, simply to say, “This isn't an option; this should never be an option.” In a civilized society, where honor means something, one human being killing another is a dishonor."
- Ellie Wiesel
