October 17 - "World Day to Overcome Extreme Poverty"
(Oct-2012)
UN has recognized that those for whom life is difficult are right when they dare to affirm that poverty is a form of violence and that peace is only possible if each person is recognized in his dignity, knowledge and capacity to inter-react with others. There are lapids in Paris and replica from Manila to New York where people are invited to gather on the 17th to express their will to overcome extreme poverty.
