STAND UP against poverty

"What is STAND UP?
STAND UP is an innovative and exciting challenge to set an official Guinness World Record by having the greatest number of people ever STAND UP Against Poverty.
When is it happening?
Join forces with people all over the world on October 15, 2006 for STAND UP. Within a 24-hour period, a minimum of 10,000 people must physically and symbolically "STAND UP" to let world leaders know that we are holding them accountable for their promises to end poverty by 2015. " (quote taken from www.makepovertyhistory.ca)
"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" (quote taken from www.standagainstpoverty.com)
Thanks guys.
