On Monday evening we chatted about the Make Poverty History campaign with Landmark. I have not seen much shock this group of great young people into silence but the whole injustice of this situation did.

Well, no actually it didn’t – they were angry and what was happening, they were emotional, and many left in tears as we showed one of the video clips from the make Poverty History website. I believe some of them were crying the tears of God. It was incredibly moving to see these young people filled with compassion and a desire to change things. Could it be we have some emerging heroes here?

This group of young people want to do something and are meeting again next week to decide what to do in the Global Week of Action.

We decided on Monday night at Landmark that we wanted to show the government that we wanted this to end, so we are going in force to the overnight vigil in Westminster on the 15/16th April. The 15th April is also my 40th birthday and I really cannot think if a better thing to do, or anything else I would want to do instead with this opportunity to encourage the government to act. It will certainly be memorable! Anyone else out there intending to come and join the thousands?
