stand up against poverty


October 15 and 16 are the Global Days of Action on poverty, and millions of people from over 30 countries will be coming together to literally 'stand up' against poverty. If enough people register for these events, it will be a part of new entry in the Guinness Book of World Records and bring publicity to the fight against extreme poverty. And believe me, that is much more relevant then the „world egg day“
We should Stand Up because:
- Every day 24,000 people die from hunger
- Every day more than 100 million children are denied the chance to go to school
- Every day 1.1 billion people have to drink polluted water
- Every day 8,200 people die due to HIV/AIDS

Update:
23,542,614
People Stood Up Against Poverty
Official Guinness World Record
