The Global Campaign For Education (GCE) is a movement of people worldwide who share the common belief that education should be a basic human right. Quality public education is key in ending the cycle of poverty and in reducing inequality. Sadly all over the globe millions of children don't attend school. GCE brings public awareness to this problem and pressures government to make changes. Latin singing sensation Shakira recently went before congress on behalf of GCE, seeking US aid for education programs in poor nations. I love when celebrities help raise awareness for important issues and I can't think of a better one than this. Education shouldn't be a privilege, it's a basic human need and should be available free of charge to ALL. Join the millions who support GCE!

There are so many well intentioned but misguided people working hard to end poverty and other inequalities. I urge them and others who truly care about progress to first educate themselves about the real causes of such issues - it's their lack of understanding that perpetuates the issues their working to solve. Celebrity involvement just perpetuates the ignorance. A great source speaking truth to poverty, govt, corruption, etc. is www.independent.org
