In 2012, there are a number of ways you can become involved . . .

At a micro level, each and every one of us can make a contribution, each and every one of us can help build a better world. Volunteering, shopping at a social enterprise, supporting a charity, signing a petition for a cause you believe in, sponsoring a child's education, planting a tree . . . . these are all ways that individuals can contribute to their community and make the world a better place.
At a macro level, we also need good policies . . . . like writing off old debts, more and better aid, fair trade, gender empowerment, investing in health and education, innovative forms of financing . . . because the right policies can impact the lives of millions, transforming the hopes and dreams of an entire generation.
Since starting up in 2005, ONE (SINGAPORE)'s supporters have joined millions of people around the globe to call on world leaders to honour their commitments to end poverty and support the Millennium Development Goals.
