The premise of the huge, multilevel United Nations Millennium Project
is that extreme poverty on our planet threatens us all by causing instability, disease, and the unnecessary suffering and deaths of millions of people. (www.unmillenniumproject.org)
Yet, such poverty can be brought to a close by our generation! I was especially excited by one facet, the Millennium Village Project, which makes immediate changes in the lives of individuals. I will summarize what I love about its simple, hands-on ideas and why I have chosen to support it.
