    although I really think you putting time into the project is great and 100% support you on it I have the same reservations about the sponsors of teh campaign as Corvo.

    At first I thought it was just that the campaign wasn't communicated very well but it may be that I may be biased because I have personal issues with the football industry - massive profits, offensively overpaid footballers etc.

    I think if they backed up their campaign with some real commitment to finance their efforts. Simple things like FIFA pledging to donate a certain percentage of their 100's millions of pounds of profits or asking the insanely rich football stars to donate a percentage of their pay. For example a 1% annual salary sacrifice.

    Most of the discussions on the millenium development goals that last few years isn't the lack of political will but it is the lack of finance. Education can reduce poverty but it is a ciclical issue. If countries don't have the cash they can't invest in education in the first place.
