Send My Friend 08

Last year over one million children joined up to form the world's longest human chain. You asked world leaders to keep their promises to make sure all children are in school by 2015.

Thanks to your actions millions more children are able to go to school, but there are still 72 million children who miss out on education. Politicians need to speed things up to meet the 2015 deadline. And we need your help.

The 2008 challenge is to get as many UK MPs as possible to use their artistic talents to show how they will be supporting the campaign.

We will supply you with 'missing out' action cards that link together in giant displays, mobiles or sculptures, to raise awareness about the issue. Include your MP by sending them an action card to decorate with images showing what they would have missed out on if they had not been to school and to encourage them to help with the campaign.

Sign up now for your FREE schools' pack of 'missing out' action cards, plus a campaign DVD, stickers and leaflet.
