Global Poverty Day 2007

Trocadéro marks UN Global Poverty Day

Door Jan van der Made

Thousands gather at the Trocadéro Esplanade in Paris to mark 20th anniversary of the Global Poverty Day and try and find solutions for systemic problems that prevent people from reaching even a minimum living standard. Meet anti-poverty volunteer worker Paul Harris, volunteer sound engineer Semi who tours around France to help organizing awareness concerts, a Nigerian MEND member on the run and Tanzanian volunteer Dali.
