Yesterday the whole world 'Stood-Up' to Make Poverty History and the Durban Branches took part. We invited the whole office park (with 900 employee's) to join us on this global effort to take part in a demonstration of unity against poverty and besides Manpower only 9 others joined us. The Make Poverty History is part of the BONO/Geldoff iniative and was launched in association of The United Nations and The Art Of Living Foundation. At 4.50pm we all assembled at the entrance to the office park and Henry read out the pledge. He then asked all the assembled to crouch and at exactly 5.00pm we all jumped up to stand against poverty. Even though there were only 29 people, these numbers were added to the global figure and hopefully will be recorded at the largest gathering globally and be registered in The Guinness Book Of Records. It was a wonderful opprtunity to be part of a respected campaign and also to be used as part of our social responsibility programme. The greatest thing is that it did'nt cost a cent. All of the assembled gave of themselves! We encourage the rest of Manpower to take part in next years Stand-Up!
