World We Want : Vote Now for the Future of our World

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I've voted on the World We Want poll and nominated what I think are the six most pressing issues that the world is facing.

In any case, if you haven’t voted yet, you should vote as soon as you can. There’s only less than 1000 days left before the current Millennium Development goals’ deadline is reached and come 2015, world leaders will be setting new goals.

The World We Want is a project of the United Nations. Like any developmental org, the UN has a bunch of goals that they have set for a certain period, and the current set of goals will be reached in 2015. They are beginning to draft their plans for 2015 onwards, but this time, they want input from people they would not otherwise reach.

We have our own little way of sending them a message so they would consider prioritizing what we think is more important for us.
