It is not what you are nor what you have been that God sees with all merciful eyes,
but what you desire to be.

The Cloud of Unknowing    

 There is something wanting in education where a child has not had its share of leisure, to be rapt in silence and alone…

Milennium Development Goals

Ten years ago, caught up in the excitement of a new millennium, many people “stiffened the sinews and summoned up the blood” to do great things for our world community.  The U.N. held a Millennium Summit and set 8 goals to be met as speedily as possible.

These Millennium Development Goals, with “step-by-step” targets, are to:

• Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

• Achieve universal primary education

• Promote gender equality and empower women.

• Reduce child mortality

• Improve maternal health

• Combat HIV/AIDS, the incidence of malaria and other major diseases by 2015

• Ensure Environmental Sustainability

Progress is to be measured by 2015 or 2020, with lesser checks yearly.

New Zealand and Australia are among the 189 nations which signed the goals on behalf of their populations.
