Evidently only 8% of Americans have heard of the MDG's. Better get a move on--only 5 more years to end world poverty and hunger! To be fair, I really liked the point made by the authors of Half the Sky. They mentioned that the UN programs might do more for the copy paper industry than for the underprivileged. However, in a world fraught with need, their programs are still indispensable. I must keep this in mind when I criticize the UN's aid policies and efficiency.
