Voice against Poverty
I must congratulate the band 'Bangla' on their great efforts to voice against poverty at the anti-poverty concert "Your voice against poverty" in Rostock, Germany while the G8 summit was going on. I would like to thank SWM for the article “Bangla's Voice against Poverty” (June 22, 2007).
Poverty, no doubt is a great curse for us. Though, the 33rd G8 summit has taken decision to help Africa and other developing countries to fight against AIDS, poverty, it is not enough to remove poverty if they do not consider for the poorest countries where the people are living under various crises.
I think it is high time that the rich countries spend more on uplifting people out of poverty instead of spending so much of their money on war.
