![[Lets Try & Make Poverty History]](/roller/resources/rohanpinto/ONE_banners001_468_88.gif)
Well, after reading up on several blogs (Like Mary's and Jonas's) about receiving invitations to "Live8 the Long Walk To Justice" concert, I was hoping to get an invite too.. but Who Would Send Me One /. Then I thought; what good would it be if I just get an invite and not be able to attend the concert. Well, maybe I could still contribute to the cause, The "cause" being noble, I though that I'd contribute by buying myself a "one" band. Well, it's just a $ or two, but then I spend a lot more money on un-necessary stuff everyday. Here's what I think I'm gonna do. I'm gonna but a 100 Pack and distribute it around. If you would like to support the cause, but cannot afford to pay for a ONE band, let me know and I shall send one to you. The "one" bands are available in two sizes
- Small : For Youth or Women. Diameter is 2.25 in (5.72 cm).
- Large : Generally for Men. Diameter is 2.50 in (6.35 cm).
Wear the white band and show your support for the ONE Campaign and the fight against global AIDS and poverty. Worn by teachers, doctors, and homemakers. You've seen them in the pages of People and US Weekly on your favorite stars, get your band now! The white bands are part of a global effort to make poverty history.
The White Band can be worn on your wrist, your arm - in fact anywhere you like that it can be seen by everyone! By wearing one you are part of a unique worldwide effort in 2005 to end extreme poverty : you're saying that it's time to stop the deaths of more than 200,000 people every single week from preventable diseases.

You can wear it any way you like:- Around your wrist
- Around your rear view mirror
- As a hair band
- Through the laces in your trainers
- Around the straps of your handbag
- As a lapel ribbon
- On your key ring
- Even on pet collars
- The really important thing is that you just wear it.
I'm Doing My Bit, You Do Yours. Another way of contributing to the cause and showing your support is by putting a makepovertyhistory.org band on your website. If Interested; Just ask me how?
,Will you send bands to your friends in India too ?

I shall ship a lot over to a friend of mine in Bangalore with a distribution list and ask her to distribute them. So I guess I'll need to wait for a while and obtain a distribution list before shipping it. I'd prefer to ship a whole lot, rather than one by one. The money saved in postage would enable me to distribute more bands.
