HEY ONEOHFIVE
THIS IS EXTREMLY IMPORTANT OK.TMR.
Stand Up Against Poverty is about renewing our promises and reminding our leaders of the United Nations' Millenium Development Goals, which are supposed to be met in 2015 (but we are currently very far from it!). To summarize the movement: people around the world will STAND UP, and take a pledge against poverty, inequality, and make a sincere appeal for proper healthcare, sanitation and fair trade. Being active does not mean that you need to donate a lot of money, or make a major contribution. Through these small acts, you can make a huge difference towards improving living conditions in less developed countries.
RGS will be 1. taking a pledge against poverty, 2. putting their handprints on various end poverty banners around the school, 3. watching videos/documentaries on poverty issues. For more information, visit INET.
Students (and teachers) are welcome to wear school-approved white tees, as well as white wristbands/ strings around their wrists. RGS STANDS UP! will be covered by the media :)
