On August 18, we will mark the 500-day milestone toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals — global commitments which represent a promise to humanity on behalf of the international community.
As development professionals, we commit our lives to big goals such as eradicating hunger and poverty, or achieving universal education. We do what we do because we know that it makes a difference. We see it in the faces and stories of the people we serve.
Yet, the numbers tell us, there is plenty left for us to accomplish.
