The
1st Sleaford Girls
Brigade supported the Jubilee 2000 campaign.
We entered the worldwide "Life or Debt Art Competition" aimed at
raising the profile of the Jubilee 2000 campaign and specifically the need to
address debt in the worlds poorest countries.
Our Brigaders and Seniors reached the finals with their posters and the
seniors wrote a poem that was published on the competition
web page.
The Seniors Poem:
- The longest chain is getting longer. The amount of money is getting
stronger.
- If we help in every way
- We could make tomorrow their greatest day.
- Even children as young as five
- Are made to work just to stay alive.
- Without our help some may not know tomorrow,
- Show your feelings, Show your sorrow.
- If only other people cared,
- Then someone's tomorrow may be spared.
- Think of those when saying grace,
- And help this world become a better place.
- Together say Amen!
