The finance ministers of world’s richest eight nations ( the G8 ) will meet in Japan next week on June 13 and 14 ahead of the G8 summit scheduled for July. U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Jr. will attend this meeting. Meanwhile the world’s poorest countries, including Haiti, are feeling the brunt of the global food crisis, which is threatening to cripple their economies and plunge millions more into poverty. Debt cancellation is one way to help alleviate the suffering.
Sign a petition to Sec. Paulson to urge immediate debt cancellation for Haiti.
