[unicef@xxxxxxxxxxx]

This is an appeal from the United Nations to youth worldwide to
participate in a unique event via Internet. Youth are invited to
send their ideas to more than 90 world leaders who will attend the
World Summit for Social Development, Copenhagen, 6-12 March 1995.
PLEASE HELP BY FORWARDING THIS APPEAL. 
 
The UN will have an exhibition at WSSD, connected to Internet,
where leaders can read/respond to voices of youth around the world.
At WSSD, leaders will sign an agreement on three important issues:
1) Poverty  2) Unemployment  3) Social Conflict. 
 
The Voices of Youth project will be viewed by thousands at the WSSD
and millions of others on-line. Make a difference by participating!
 
HOW TO PARTICIPATE: There are two ways:
 
1)   E-MAIL: By sending an e-mail message. Think about some of the
     questions below and the three issues of the WSSD. E-mail your
     message to the world leaders to <unicefwssd@xxxxxxxxxxx>
2)   WORLD WIDE WEB: If you have access to the WWW you can visit a
     multimedia interactive environment established by the UN at
     http://www.iisd.ca/linkages/un/youth.html
 
SPEAK YOUR MIND! BE CREATIVE, SPEAK FROM THE HEART !
 
What solutions to the above mentioned social problems do you
propose? Here are some questions you might consider responding to: 
* Why are there more poor people than ever before when for the
  first time in history everyone's basic needs could be met? 
* Do you know what it is like to grow up homeless or without 
  access to schooling, health care or safe drinking water? 
* What happens if you have to drop out of school to help 
  support your family? 
* Why do differences in skin colour, language, religion or 
  gender often lead people to mistreat each other?
