This Week's Good Idea - Send a message to the G8

Next week is the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY festival in Edinburgh before the start of the G8 summit. Even if you can't go, you can send a message to the G8 leaders.

1. Send a message by email
Email Tony Blair.
Email George Bush

For the other G8 countries, follow these links:
Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, Russia

And for all other countries, check here

2. Send a message on a white band
MPH are hoping for tens of thousands of messages. The messages will be collected and displayed before being handed over to the G8 leaders in Gleneagles.

Write your own message on a white strip of cloth 7cm x 50cm, and wrap it round to form a band. It could be a prayer, an encouragement to action, or a verse of Scripture speaking of God's concern for justice for the poor.
