Well - Live 8 was completely amazing - as for me - my experience was at Eden with a miriad of african musicians, peter gabriel and a fantastic firework and flames finally.

It is estimated that over 3 billion people contributed by attending, watching and taking part across the world.
For those that took even a moment to remember and watch - THANK YOU.

It isn't over yet. We are on the eve of the biggest meeting ever to discuss global poverty. On the 6th July, people will be rallying to Edinburgh in support of MPH - and it still isn't too late to make your voice heard by signing against poverty here

In Edinburgh on the 6th - the G8 meeting commences. In response there will be THE FINAL PUSH - read about it here

Peace and Love

Guys, I went to Live 8. It was great, but, ummm, I hate to say it but it fell on deaf ears. It was in the paper yesterday. The Canadian and US governments have said they will not change their foreign policy in regards to Africa and the summit will go ahead as planned.

Great concert, but it failed to achieve it' objectives.

Just because there is a few negative comments, responses or moments - even if there is an entirely negative response - and even though the G8 summit will come and go - does'nt mean we as a people cannot stand up and make our voices heard.

If the ears are deaf, then let us learn signlanguage.
