Snap Your Fingers! | August 19th 2005

Sou thought out loud in Blog, Fun, Personal, Movies, Awareness

I support the ‘Make Poverty History‘ Campaign, and like others out there, i usually search online for the latest news and links to the campaign…so as i was searching i stumbled upon Egyptian actor Khaled Abol Naga’s website. Apparantley he’s joined the campaign!!! Yay!! I think he’s the only Arab Celebrity to join (if you know of any others, DO tell me!)

Khaled Abol Naga for ‘Make Poverty History’

No, he’s not doing the “capiche” motion with this hands!! He’s “snapping” his fingers! You’ll understand when you watch the VIDEO–which he isn’t in :( This brings me to why I haven’t posted up an entry in a while *cough* I was looking all over the internet for a ‘Make Poverty History’ video with Khaled in it, I’ve even went as far as sending Khaled an email asking if he knew of any links of the video so i could put it up, but he didn’t reply to that “specific” question…(he DID reply tho!) So yay for me! hehehe..a celebrity actually emailed me *faints* Ok, back to the real deal…Two thumbs up for Khaled! yay! Check out his biography and acheivments…He’s acheived so much and started out out so young! Way to go Khaled! :DClick here for the complete collection of videos from the campaign. Oh yeah! There’s also a white wristband you can get to support the cause (which i’ve ordered!) can’t wait till it gets here–this century hopefully!

Support the campaign and do something good! *Snaps fingers* “a child dies completley unnecassarily as a result of extreme poverty every 3 seconds”

Time to sign off. Till next time world!!

Ta ta for now :*

Hi,

My brother has been working hard on this issue. He has sold wristbands for the campaign in his school. He has spoken at various events.

But like him… I am greatly dissapointed at the G8 summit results.

Man spends millions of dollars sending probes into space looking for life… while lignoring life here on earth. We find it morally acceptable to pay ourselves extravagant salaries and yet… we find it difficult given an honest wage to a labourer.

I am proud of you and others who try to make a difference.

Thanks for this post.

Truly,
Misguided

That is AWESOME. He should really be on one of the videos, it would only be right.

I am so glad you support the campaign too. I should figure out how to get one of those bands on my page. ^_^

hmmm im not very familiar with the MPH campaign but it is a serious issue … a child dies every 3 seconds alone is one aweful statistic but in the end its a reality…

i really did think it was a great idea to hold the liveaid concerts over several nations world wide to raise awareness…. truly extraordinary
