 World Vision News
Welcome
Welcome to our June 2008 issue of World Vision News Online.

Ever wondered how your world would change if you could really understand poverty - the poverty that billions of people experience today? This month we encourage you to step into someone else’s shoes at Connecting Lives, an all-new interactive exhibition held in Sydney for World Youth Day celebrations, and understand the real-life experiences of an African child.

With the 40 Hour Famine coming up in August there's also the chance for your kids to experience first hand what it's like to give up something that really matters to help children trapped in child labour and denied their basic rights.

Lastly, don’t forget to give 30 seconds to pledge your support for child & maternal health.
