Cartas ao G8

Children at the Tumelong haven for children affected by HIV and AIDS. [Simon Rawles]

A CAFOD convidou as organizações parceiras locais em vários continentes para escreverem uma carta aberta para os lideres do G8, em preparação à reunião em julho em Edimburgo

A reação que obtivemos foi fantástica, e aqui compartilhamos um pouco da sua visão de como os homens mais poderosos do mundo têm em suas mãos o poder de mudar a desesperada luta de milhões de pessoas.

Nossas organizações parceiras explicam como a justiça nas relações comerciais, o cancelamento da divida externa e um maior volume e qualidade da ajuda oficial para o desenvolvimento podem trazer um futuro mais esperançoso para todos nós.

Se quiser comentar/expressar sua opinião sobre estas cartas, ou se quiser escrever a sua, envie um e-mail para G8letters@cafod.org.uk
