> The art will draw attention to how hard children must work to  
> survive poverty, in Africa and India. Although most children in  
> Britain do not have to work as hard, many live in poverty and many  
> are carers. 175,000 children as young as five look after parents  
> who are ill or have disabilities; others take care of younger  
> children when their parents are out at work on top of schoolwork.  
> Children's work, especially the work that girls do, is mostly

> In 1967, newly independent Tanzania led by President Julius Nyerere  
> issued The Arusha Declaration, one of the great documents of the  
> 20th century. It confronts the problems for economically poor  
> countries developing economically while trying to remain  
> independent of international capital. Beginning with the working  
> life of the people, especially of women in the countryside who  
> ‘work the harder than anyone else’, it sets out an alternative  
> strategy of Ujaama or `African socialism': self-reliance, co- 
> operation and preventing the corruption of the government and the  
> ruling party.
>
> President Nyerere continued the struggle for African unity which  
> President Nkrumah of Ghana had initiated. Despite poverty, Tanzania  
> has uniquely succeeded in avoiding ethnic and other wars and  
> dictatorships. As President Hugo Chávez announces Venezuela's  
> withdrawal from the World Bank and the IMF in favour of an economic  
> union of Third World countries, the principles of The Arusha  
> Declarationare again on the agenda.

> To celebrate the abolition of the slave trade 200 years ago,  
> Ghana's independence 50 years ago
> and India's independence 60 years ago.
