What do you think may be different to your life?

•Do these children live in houses like yours?

• Do they have a doctor like yours?

• What will they be when they grow up?

• Do their parents have as much money as yours?

The bad news is that… we are half-way to 2015 and our world is not

half-way towards reaching all the targets

The good news is that… if rich countries:

give more aid, make trade fair and cancel poor countries’ debts, it might still be possible to achieve the

Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
