Global Voices [9] is partnering with the 11Eleven Project [8] to raise awareness about the UN Millenium Development Goals (MDGs [1]). In November, on 11/11/11 we invite world citizens to help create a collaborative portrait of humanity with: photos, films, audio, and blog posts about this day. It doesn't have to be related to the MDG's, the important thing is for it to represent YOU. You can read more about the 8 development challenges and measure to resolve them by 2015 on our Special Coverage Page. [1]
We're also encouraging everyone to blog about “How I wish the world will be in 100 years” with emphasis on the MDGs. Link back to our Millenium Development Goals [1] page, and we'll list your blog post there too. So join us as we celebrate humanity on 11/11/11.
