RESULTS in Canberra

RESULTS members on the steps of Parliament House today, February 26
We are here at Parliament House on a very important day.

It's not just about the Rudd and Gillard ballot.

We are ten people ready to meet with MPs and Senators on pressing global poverty issues such as threats to ongoing funding for the Global Fund – the largest global funder of TB and malaria programs, and the second largest funder of HIV programs.

Two RESULTS volunteers are on their first trip to Canberra and they had this to say so far:

Camilla from Sydney's Northern Beaches:

I am very excited to be here and already feel the gravity and importance of what we will do today.
I already feel that we have the potential to make a huge difference for poor people around the world.


Peter from Inner Sydney:

I am just delighted to be a part of the democratic process and be part of the RESULTS team here in Canberra. Having worked closely as an intern with RESULTS on the recently released education report I look forward to inspire MPs to take action to help more girls and children with disabilities to get into school.
