On 13 September, one million paper cut-out figures will embark on the final stage of a global journey that has taken them from schools in 170 countries, via the G8 Summit in Scotland, to the 2005 World Summit in New York, being held at the United Nations Headquarters from 14-16 September. These figures represent the more than 100 million children who are not in school. They have been made and sent by children from all over the world in a plea to world leaders to speed up action to “send my friend to school.” The campaign has been organized by the Global Campaign for Education in partnership with the UNAIDS-led Global Coalition on Women and AIDS.
