1 Goal at the World Cup

I am looking forward to the World Cup, which starts on Friday, even though Scotland aren't there - hopefully next time. I support the 1 Goal campaign. This campaign is calling for Education for all. Today, 72 million children in the world are denied the chance to go to school. These children could be our next generation’s leaders, sports stars, doctors and teachers. But they face a lifelong struggle against poverty.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Since 2000, 40 million more children are in school. Education beats poverty – and gives people the tools to help themselves.

1GOAL is a campaign seizing the power of football to ensure that education for all is a lasting impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Raising our voices all over the world we believe that, together, we can make education a reality for the millions of boys and girls who remain out of school.

Please take a look at this campaign and support it and enjoy the World Cup.
