how we are part of this. part of a huge event that is trying to-and hopefully will- start changing the world

 

For once, I'm proud of my generation.

I think Will Smith just got chills... he looked like he was about to cry!!

I really wish I was in london at this very moment..

I've never seen anything so massive, the energy must be fantastic

 

 

*nananananana, now if you sing..., sing sing sing sing*

not only London.. but to think that in 4 different continents, 9 different cities.... all simultaneously, they are performing and coming together... for one cause. Its a great thing.. I remember the 1st Live Aid.. it was amazing!! It was even on all the radio stations at the same time.. quite amazing.. yet sad that 20years later.. we still have this problem.. now worse than ever.. :embarrased:

Will Smith gave me chills!

 

There's something I NEVER thought I'd say... but there I was standing among 1,000,000 people and joined by countless more around the world, snapping our fingers to symbolize somebody starving to death every three seconds... it was very overwhelming.

i know EXACTLY what you mean!

it was fucking amazing that whole snapping thing. i got chills for sure.

Yeah, it's scary to think that children die every 3 seconds like that. Just terrible :cry:

which will smith song was it

i wanna see it

no no no it wasn't a song it was him talking and joining everyone at live8 together and getting them to click their fingers at the same time ... quite amazing! :stunned:

OOH! so you ended up going??!! Yeah, those finger snaps were impressive to hear over the tv, I can imagine in person!! :stunned: I am seriously thinking of getting involved. I mean making more of a conscience effort to support free trade, and doing something to better the world.. its very moving.

i got a makepovertyhistory bracelt :P

and signed all the petitions.

a make trade fair one was there as well!

Me too, i am seriously considering getting involved and taking an active part in doing something about changing the state of things. :idea2: I am so thankfull to Bob Geldof for organising this and for opening my eyes. A lot of people say that it was just for the music, but to me i realised that it's time for change, we can't just accept things they way they are right now, and we have to start somewhere.

Oh, and Will Smith really touched me too, i though i was gonna cry their but i managed to hold, still it made a huge impact on me. :o

I dont know wether u guys saw the young girl from ethiopia come out on to the stage with Bob Geldof but she looked absolutely brilliant and I was crying my heart out I was so upset! I want to go to Africa and do some voluntary work, anyone no anything about this or done it themselves??

yeah, I saw that part, she was a dying kid at Live Aid!

 

I'm seriously considering helping out too, too bad I'm only 16. but I'll try to help by the time I'm 18!

^^I feel you,I'm 17,and I've been aching to get involved in this since I was 12,but yeah I hate that I have to wait too,Just finished Highschool so I'll probably start doing something effective now,alot of people want to help and it's about time we do something instead of crying.

 

God bless Bob Geldof and Bono and all these great people for bringing that much awareness about it and doing what world leaders and politicians have failed miserably at doing.

Ive been in touch with alot of charities and none of them send volunteers over to africa. The only way I no u can do it is if u go with ChristianAid. Im not a christian but apparently that doesnt matter! Also alot of places dont want u if u havent got a skill ie doctor, engineer, builder etc, its a shame! All I wanna do is help! :(

Really??^^Okay thank God then,I knew I decided I'm going to study Medicine for a reason,I was thinking I want to go now and not wait all this time until I finish my studies,but it makes sense,I could help much better when I'm a Doctor insha2allah.

 

But it seems very unfair though,I mean people can help in all sorts of ways I'm sure,I guess travelling on your own isn't an option?

I know, I was hoping I can do something like raise awareness about aids and unprotected sex but noone wants me to help! Im fed up with my country, I seem to surround myself with really selfish people! And I couldnt go on my own, id be too scared!

That's messed up.

 

Don't worry,I'll take you with me when I go. ;)

Aw, can i come along, i would love to be able to help out in some way, and i too don't want to go alone. :)

Sure!:DI've already convinced one of my friends and working on some more,we'll be a big gathering.

 

It'll take me years to earn my parents permission though :(

Great, let's all go there and help out! :D

I would of thought the cost of living would be stupidly cheap out there! Anyone ever been to Africa? Where abouts in London r u, if u dont mind me asking?!

I have no idea how much it costs to travel and live there, but i assume just as you that it can't be too expensive :/

I'm in the south east part by the way, eltham to be exact. :P

What about you?

:D Just down the road, Crystal Palace! :D Im getting some information from a friend of my dad who did it herself, if theres anything of use I will let u no!
