U.S. Ad Campaign to Fight Global Poverty & AIDS

"Make Poverty History" (Original Video)

Audio mp3 of Ad

[AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio]

One by one they step forward:

a nurse,

a teacher,

a homemaker.

And lives are saved.

 

But the problem is enormous.

Every three seconds one person dies.

Another three seconds,

one more.

The situation is so desperate

in parts of Africa, Asia, even America,

that aid groups,

just as they did for the Tsunami,

are uniting as

one,

acting as

one.

We can beat extreme poverty,

starvation,

AIDS.

But we need your help.

 

One more person,

letter,

voice

will mean the difference

between life and death

for millions of people.

Please join us by working together.

Americans have an unprecedented opportunity.

We can make history.

We can start to make poverty, history --

one

by

one

by

one.

We're not asking for your money;

we're asking for

your voice.
