MDGs - Only with Your Voice
Various countries are committed to working together in a global partnership to achieve theMillennium Development Goals.“It is not in the United Nations that the Millennium Development Goals will be achieved.They have to be achieved in each country by the joint efforts of the Governments andpeople.” (Ko Annan, former United Nations Secretary-General) According to what Ko Annan has said above, people should be involved in achieving thesegoals, and youth around the world are making an effort to make this possible. A lot of NGOs,movements, and schools are encouraging their youth to understand the importance of thisinitiative and to be involved in actions that help us to achieve one specic goal or all of them. Awareness has been raised in communities of various economic backgrounds.

In a world where so many young people don’t have the chance to participatepositively in solving the problems of their societies, where many children suffer anddon’t nd anybody to help them, where the environment is destroyed every day, weneed more efforts to make a positive difference. Because many dangerous phenomenathreaten our societies and countries and the lack of awareness is widespread, weneed to encourage students to act positively in their societies.
We believe that youth canhave a positive impact on their communities because they have the ambition and thedesire for a happy peaceful world.
