Lismore joins the Blueprint

The Blueprint for a Better World Exhibition is on in Lismore until Wednesday 31 March. The exhibition is a travelling multimedia exhibition which gives a practical face to the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It presents a challenge for all and a call for action at all levels. If the MDGs are to be achieved, it is not just government initiative that is required. A commitment from the public is also necessary.

School children from Lismore are the latest to recognise the injustice in our world and the role that they can play in helping the MDGs succeed:
“We are lucky for what we have and I won’t take things for granted like technology when these people don’t even have electricity,” 11-year-old Cara Feain-Ryan said.

“I think it is unfair everyone in Australia gets to go to school and these kids don’t,” 12-year-old Hannah Isaac agreed.
