Millennium Development Goals

In religion class at the moment, we are learning about Millennium Development Goals.
Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, are eight internationally agreed goals and targets to reduce global poverty by 2015.

The eight MDGs are as follow:

1. Eradicate extreme hunger and poverty.
2. Achieve universal primary education.
3. Promote gender equality and empower women.
4. Reduce child mortality.
5. Improve maternal health.
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
7. Ensure environmental sustainability.
8. Develop a global partnership for development.

We were divided into groups and each group were given a specific MDG to do a project on. My group got MDG #7; Ensure environmental sustainability. We have completed a PowerPoint presentation on environmental sustainability and we will be doing a poster on it soon.

I am really enjoying learning about the MDGs! I think the topic is interesting and very relevant to us.

Here is a short video  on all of the MDGs. It will explain the entire concept to you very simply!
