Millennium Development Goal

Yes within this week, The UN council on Millennium Development goal is meeting in USA to review how far the goal achievements is. Well its so good to hear this but allot is still in need.
The MDG is purely meant for the third world countries and the most poor countries,which many are found in Africa and Asia.
Its so good to hear all this concerns but what worries me is, among this affected counties, how many of their people know about this meeting,or about MDG.
Thanks allot all those high powered personalities in US who have length speeches to make and show how we should fight poverty.
We the poor have cried for so long, we have received aid for so long, we demonstrated for so long, and we appreciate all that the developed world has done, but that is not enough.
After reading few articles and watching some clips on YOU TUBE, i realized that, unless and i mean this, unless the world wakes to reality, nothing touchable will be achieved by 2030. Why do i say this.
The current world is on rush with high technology, those skills are ONLY available through education, i mean good education which which will be easily available affordable to all.
At the moment the world is divided, NO shared between two groups, the RICH and the POOR. The rich are enjoying all while the poor are serving them. The education has become so expensive and this is the turning point.
The rich are taking their children to good schools while the poor children will be SO lucky even to see a class door flame.This had made our world a world of dynasties. Rich will keep on been richer while poor keep on been poorly.
With good education all of us can be able to fight our own battle in world of jobs, with good education the poor can be shoulder high looking for employments with good education the poor can be good businessmen/ladies, thus am calling the UN to look more to education systems.
Here in Kenya we have a program called free education system,yes this is a way of trying to offer education to all, but at the same time the education given has proved to not of the same standard with other private schools, why?
Most of private schools are scouring the highest marks during examinations, this is due to number of students in those schools,few and manageable. Governments schools, which are offering the free education are overcrowded and its so hard to monitor all those students.
Private schools are paying their teachers very well, while governments teachers have some time to demand their salaries increments.
The Government schools are in very poor statues, others have no roofs, no enough desks, no enough teachers, no enough learning materials,name them they are in very poor conditions to make this world a better world to live for those poor children.
When this children finish the schooling, which mostly ends at class eight, they turn to taking local brew and thats the end of them, while the rich child advances to get good job as his father/mother and employes the poor child.
We do not need more aids, no more sympathy, no more hand out, we need affordable,available and GOOD education.
So am calling Her Highness Mama Gracie Mandela to fight tooth and nails for education. With education we shall be able to achieve MDG, with ease.
So as this great men and women of UN meet in US, remember WE poor need Education.
