Bono & Poverty
Posted by Brad BriscoNov 9
We are the first generation that really can do something about the kind of “stupid” poverty that sees children dying of hunger in a world of plenty or mothers dying for lack of a 20-cent drug that we take for granted. We have the science, we have the resources, what we don’t seem to have is the will. This is an opportunity to show what America stands for.

Brad,
Can you point us in a direction on some organizations/ministries that you (and maybe others) feel are reputable that we can partner with to put feet to Bono’s prayer/plea?
Thanks dude. Hope all is well!

Bono is being pretty prophetic at the mo – it’s inspiring and challenging…
as for organisations, kiva, drop the debt/jubilee campaign, live 8 etc

Good to hear from you, I would point you to the link for 5 For 50 from the previous post. Also check out Children’s Hope Chest, which is tied in with Tom Davis as well. There is a link on his blog. There is also the One Campaign at http://www.one.org
Paul, thanks for your suggestions as well.
