This week is all about information! Set a goal of finding out more information concerning nations and their progress toward the MDG's. Not only will this support the United States' commitment to Millennium Development Goal 8, Fostering Global Partnership, but it will also help all of us to act as more informed citizens. Here are some jumping off points for your research:
