So what happened was Sen.

Back in 2006.

Myself and my friend Dan Adams we -- consonants -- to make poverty history counts.

And we thought it was going to be a relatively small affair with just a strain -- us.

Now people who don't live in New -- we'll still got to attack and but I had -- -- -- did not work.

There's two ways in which people can be involved around the world famously it's going to be live stream globally so people can participate wherever they are in the world.

And secondly we're gonna have a competition to fly people from all over the world to be part of the festival in New York -- said this many ways in which people -- around the world can be.
