MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs) ???

Several months ago my friend Bruce (aka Anthony, danceTM) came back from one of his "churchy" things in Seattle talking about the Millennium Development Goals or MDG. I had never heard of them.

Then today I came across this: The Millennium Development Goals set a framework for how the world could see the end of extreme poverty. In September, 2000, The United States joined with 188 nations to affirm a set of international development goals in the United Nations Millennium Declaration. (The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (MDGs) reflect an understanding of the devastation caused by global hunger and poverty and aim for a world that is free of such suffering.

On simple local level, I’ve spent a lot of time working toward these objectives. Somehow those "small things" seemed more manageable. But imagine what would happen if we could change the larger mindset… Pretty amazing.
