Beating The Hunger Crisis
Oct 8, 2008
Focus: Hunger
Action Request: Petition
Location: United Kingdom
Hi,

I just signed a petition asking President Sarkozy to support an innovative plan to use extra money from the EU budget to support African farmers.

I hope that you'll join me in taking action here: http://www.one.org/international/extrabillion

We've seen aid achieve some amazing things in recent years - like over 29 million more children in school for the first time, and over 2 million more Africans with access to AIDS medications. But we must recognize the ongoing hunger crisis for the obstacle that it is and work to overcome it if we hope to continue our success. Europe can lead the way right now by giving African agriculture the support it needs.

Thank,
Derek
