 If you're coming for a visit to McGregor, please bring any children's clothes you may have to spare and leave them at Villagers on the main street. It does get really cold here in winter and children are suffering. Thankyou!

- G8 - Keep Your Word to the Poor!
-McGregor.Org.Za may be a village site - but our views aren't parochial! We support the Avaaz.Org Petition regarding G8 summit.
This Friday, the finance ministers of the world's richest countries meet to plan the G8 summit in Germany. Two years ago, they pledged to double aid to Africa--but despite their promises, aid from the G8 has actually gone down, and 20,000 children every day are still dying preventable deaths.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu has signed on to a letter organised by Avaaz and our friends at the Global Call to Action Against Poverty. The letter will be featured in big ads in the Financial Times and German press on Friday morning, so that the finance ministers are reminded of their promises before they meet. Let's show how many of us want the rich world to keep its promises to the global poor! |
