"Actual solutions"

As the Global Summit ends, the folks at ONE remind us, "If you want to learn more about real-life examples of effective international assistance and the Millennium Development Goals, you can tune in to The Diary of Angelina Jolie and Dr. Jeffrey Sachs in Africa tonight on MTV at 8pm [EST]." (You can preview the show a little at that link, as well as purchase one of Sachs' "quick wins.") MTV adds: "The facts are staggering - but there is hope. There is now a feasible plan to end extreme poverty in our lifetime, and Sauri, a cluster of villages in Western Kenya, helps to show the world how we can make that happen."
Very attentive readers of this blog might possibly remember that I'd wondered how someone could follow results in Sauri; now we know.
