STAND UP Against Poverty a success!
19 October, 2006
The previously-mentioned STAND UP Against Poverty campaign, run by the UN Millennium Campaign, has set a new Guiness World Record to be the “the largest single coordinated movement of people”.
More than 23 million people around the world stood up during a 24-hour period this week to show their support for the United Nations’ fight against poverty. Participants, ranging from churchgoers in Africa to soccer fans in Mexico, lent support to the Millennium Development Goals.
