Make Poverty History // "Get to the Point" Community Photo Event June 11, 2008

It's a Canadian idea.

POINT SEVEN
Rich countries can easily afford to give 0.7% of the GNP to international aid. Pearson came up with it. Let's rally behind this great Canadian idea by getting the message to Ottawa that we want the Canadian government to commit to 0.7% aid.

MESSAGE TO HARPER
The G8 Summit is coming up in early July so help us send-off Prime Minister Harper to Japan with this message:

===================
GET TO THE POINT! ----> 0.7%
===================

Join the Make Poverty History Etobicoke-Lakeshore Group in west-end Toronto for this community photo event – it’s going to be a blast! We're going to create a massive human "0.7%" sign – so the more the merrier!

AERIAL PHOTO
We’ll have photographers perched on the roof of the LAMP Community Health Centre ready to take our group shot as we are formed into a giant 0.7%! Photo will be taken at 5:20pm SHARP so arrive early!

AWARDS EVENT
Stay for the 9th Annual Awards of Merit that will begin at 6pm with an outdoor BBQ, face painting, cotton candy, corn-on-the-cob, entertainment and more!

WANTED
Volunteers to help with the event. If you are interested and available to be at LAMP by 4:45pm please email Michelle at mph.etobicoke@gmail.com
