We can be the generation to MAKE POVERTY HISTORY

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity, it is an act of justice. Nelson Mandela

Pam McAllister Reweaving the Web The fabric of the new society will be made of nothing more or less than the threads woven in today's interactions.

It's not about charity, it's about justice. Bono

Give me neither poverty or riches. Give me only as much as I need. Proverbs 30:8

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. Robert F. Kennedy

Our love is not to be just words or mere talk, but something real and active. 1 John 3:18

The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in the wardrobe is the garment of the one who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the money you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit. Basil the Great

The righteous give and they do not hold back. Proverbs 21:26

Next in importance to freedom and justice is education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained. James A. Garfield

Let justice flow like a stream and righteousness flow like a river that never goes dry. Amos 5:24

Be the change you want to see in the world. Gandhi

God himself, looking on men as formed in his own image, regards them with such love and honor that He himself feels wounded and outraged in the presence of those who are victims of human cruelty and wickedness. John Calvin

A global world is essentially a world of solidarity. Pope John Paul II Address to George W. Bush (2001)

Give generously to the needy and do so without a grudging heart, then the Lord will bless you in all your work and anything you put your hand to.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter. Martin Luther King Jr

The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life. Jane Addams

“We are working to help people become better people; then this will become a better world” Eva Burrows We are working to help people become better people; then this will become a better world.

Do we help the poor if we do not ask why they are poor? Dom Helder Camara

History will be our judge ….. but what is written is up to us. Bono

Do not look the other way…the world hungers for action not words. Nelson Mandela

We live in a world where virtually no problem can be solved by individual action.

And yet…

In our world no problem can be solved unless individuals act.

The Challenge is Poverty… The Time is Now!!
