**TRAFALGAR SQUARE, LONDON 12pm THURSDAY 3rd FEBRUARY**

On Thursday 3rd February, Nelson Mandela will be coming to London at the invitation of MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY (www.makepovertyhistory.org ) to endorse the biggest anti-poverty campaign ever.

You can come too.

Nelson Mandela will be addressing a crowd of thousands in Trafalgar Square to put pressure on world leaders to deliver trade justice, more and better aid, and to drop the debt. He will also call on the public to get involved and take action.

It's going to be special.

The finance ministers of the G7 (Group of 7 industrialised countries) will meet the following day also in London. >From that meeting MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY wants to see significant steps to drop the debts of developing countries which currently costs them $39 billion a year. When Nelson Mandela meets with the finance ministers he will take a message from all of us to all of them.

Come and add your voice to the global call to Make Poverty History.

White bands, the symbol of the campaign, will adorn Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column ' will you come and wear one too?
