This Week's Good Idea - Send a message to the G8
Next week is the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY festival in Edinburgh before the start of the G8 summit. Even if you can't go, you can send a message to the G8 leaders.
1. Send a message by email
Email Tony Blair.
Email George Bush
For the other G8 countries, follow these links:
Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, Russia
And for all other countries, check here
2. Send a message on a white band
MPH are hoping for tens of thousands of messages. The messages will be collected and displayed before being handed over to the G8 leaders in Gleneagles.
Write your own message on a white strip of cloth 7cm x 50cm, and wrap it round to form a band. It could be a prayer, an encouragement to action, or a verse of Scripture speaking of God's concern for justice for the poor.

Good idea Keith. I think that the leaders of the first 2 countries on the list (U.K.,U.S.A.) have already gotten the message loud and clear. Let's see what happens with the other five nations (Japan, Candada, Germany, Italy, France). O.K., you can count Putin in too but don't expect much.
I wonder which countries are included under "Other"? Every little bit helps, I guess.
Your design updates look really nice and Congrats on the Best Missionary Blog Award for 2005. Under the Acacias is a beautiful blog and very informative.
