From ambassadors overcoming challenges of stepping out of their comfort zones as well as tackling the tricky questions, to the young ambassador who spoke these words at her school, I am proud to know them all.
"We may be young. We may not have much money, or be able to vote, or be old enough to drive. But we all have a voice and our voices together make noise loud enough to change the world."

They all understand the importance of ending extreme poverty and show such inspiring determination in achieving this goal.
One person can speak up, one person has a voice.
Imagine the sound of one thousand voices united with the Australian communities. With that volume they will have to listen and they will have to take action.
What we're asking is for the Australian Government to commit to 0.7% GNI by 2020.
That's only 70c out of every $100.
We have the potential to end extreme poverty in our lifetime.
Australia should be a part of that movement. So will you use your voice?
