20,003 Stand Up in the UAE

20, 003

That, folks, is how many people stood up at the 21 STAND UP events hosted on the 15- 16th of October in the United Arab Emirates. You will not believe how proud that number makes me and the rest of the team. To everyone who made this happen for us, to everyone who stood up, to everyone who wants changes to happen and happen now, I have a feeling this will really be an eye opener for those in a position to make that change happen. That number encapsulates the attitude, the feeling and emotions of so many people that even if the world leaders wanted to ignore it, they couldn’t. And for that, pat yourselves on the back. SLOWLY, but surely we can and must erradicate poverty in our lifetimes.
