Speaking for Justice



Monday, 3:15PM: Lunch has been had, a lot of new friendships have been made... and now it's time for business again.

This afternoon's keynote speaker, Dr. Daleep Mukarji, has just taken the stage. The title of his talk is "A Wider World Perspective", drawing on his experiences both as a doctor and as a pasionate activist for social justice. He's only been speaking for just over 15 minutes, but he's already touched on climate change, poverty, unfair international trade rules, HIV/Aids, Israel/Palestine, globalisation and its effects on the price of basic food - and tomorrow's budget!
