| OCTOBER 17th WORLD DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY |

| "Wherever men and women are condemned to live in extreme poverty, human rights are violated. To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty." Joseph Wresinski, October 17, 1987. |
| "Today, the world must refocus its attention, and its resources, on the places and people that are being left behind. As we do, we must bear in mind that none are more committed to ending poverty than the poor themselves." Mr. Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General |
By lifting up the voices of the directly affected by poverty, we can find solutions to
the most violent injustices affecting our human family. We have to "ensure that
people living in poverty fully participate in the development, implementation and
evaluation of policies and programmes that concern them and that are inspired
by a commitment to a world without poverty - a world where the rights to family
life, decent work, social, cultural and political participation are respected"

"We must move pass
indecision to action...
If we do not act, we
shall surely be dragged
down the long, dark, and
shameful corridors of
time reserved for those
who possess power without
compassion, might without
morality, and strength
without sight."
Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr.
