>event in Old Trafford.
>
>The aims of this free event are to:
>Raise awareness of the demands of Make Poverty History – drop the debt, 
>fair trade, better and more aid
>Bring together local people from wide and diverse backgrounds
>Encourage people to travel to protest our world leaders at the G8
>Raise money to help pay for travel costs for those who cannot afford to go 
>to Edinburgh, in particular asylum seekers
>
>The Co-Coordinator for Make Poverty History in the northwest, Sarah 
>Blakemore, will make a keynote speech. We will be making white bands and 
>‘buddies’ with messages on to take to the G8 leaders. There will be 
>campaign stalls and light refreshments, and a film showing. This is a 
>child friendly afternoon event.
>
>We invite Primary Schools, and parents if they would like to produce a 
>display.
