Weeks before Pres. Bush's State of the Union address, members of ONE and other cause-oriented organizations sent thousands of letters to the US President asking him to support the fight against poverty, aids, malaria and tuberculosis in his speech.
Just recently, the House of Representatives voted for an additional $450 million more instead of just the $1 Billion increase many orgnizations fought to save.
This is indeed wonderful news. It translates to more lives being saved, less people getting hungry everyday, and more people having clean and potable water.
Hats off to all those who worked hard for this!
