it's officially the start of the second half of the year 2008.
a year that is filled with so much electricity - everywhere. we've got a historical election season underway, the summer olympics in a month, and many other things lie ahead

yet this world has its problems too - the ever rising gas and food prices, sales dropping everywhere... but the world still needs to see what the greatest problem we as a human race face today

extreme poverty and disease is basically erasing a whole continent and for so long the world has stood behind the sidelines and watched.

it's time that this ends - it's time that our generation rise and recognize that it's not okay that a child still dies because of a mosquito bite, that it's not okay that nearly 5000 lives are stolen on a daily basis in sub-saharan afica because of poverty related issues - it's time that we do something about it

this place is for everyone who stands for these issues - mainly for students and friends of the university of notre dame - as we join the global fight against this injustice

go irish, beat poverty - suck it injustice - go irish go
