here are huge problems of global pro-portions today, but human ingenuity should not be underestimated. More human beings alsomeans more bright ideas! The interconnectedness of the world means that more and more peopleacquire knowledge about each other, and many decide to take action for a better world. Thereare numerous encouraging things taking place globally as well as at the grassroots level.The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a document agreed upon by the majority of na-tions in the world. It establishes an essential common platform for all of humanity, and moreand more people come together in multiple forms and formations to work towards its implemen-tation. In the year 2000, the United Nations set up 8 Millennium Development Goals for all na-tions on the planet to work to achieve before 2015. The first of them is to reduce extreme pov-erty. Many believe that it is within reach of our generation to put an end to poverty. One genera-tion ago, 1/3rd of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. Today the figure is 1/6th butstill, far too many, and they are unevenly distributed—with Africa lagging behind and evenmoving in the wrong direction in some places. There is progress and encouraging news. It is ourexperience that just knowing, and talking, about all the problems in the world is discouraging;however, as soon as you start doing something about them—no matter how small—encouragement follows.The programs at CCTG provides an opportunity for ordinary people to do something and be apart of setting encouraging examples and taking action for a better world. Together with thepeople in need, we can progress one step at a time. Install a new bore hole and a pump so cleanwater is secured in a village. Establish a school garden to provide a nutritious meal for the chil-dren in grade one. Organize that yet another family receives a small loan and can start planting.Hold a course for women about hygiene. Build a new latrine. Mobilize five more girls to go toschool. Teach HIV-positive people about the “10 rules of survival”. Educate primary schoolteachers for rural areas. The list is long and everybody can take part. Each event is a small vic-tory in the fight against poverty, and over time have an impact. The people who are part of thedevelopment work develop themselves in the process and build their capacity to do more. Goodexamples spread and development can only be created through a collective effort.
We invite you to join us in this endeavor—if you are up for the challenge!
