Bangladesh

Say Yes in Bangladesh took an encouraging start on 27 April, with the President, the Prime Minister and the Leader of Opposition signing pledge forms – signaling a consensus to bring the cause of children to the very forefront of the national agenda. Leaders from the public and private sector, professional groups, NGOs, artists, writers and media representatives were among the large audience attending the ceremony, which was led and managed by children, over 1,500 of whom came from all over the country to be heard by their leaders.
The campaign steadily gained momentum with strong backing from the Bangladesh government and with the involvement and support of NGOs, the media, university students and citizens of various ages and backgrounds in the distribution and collection of pledges via person-to-person drives, the Internet, mail, and phone lines provided by a corporate partner.

What do Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, and the Muppets all have in common? They all believe in changing the world with children. Watch out for them on TV and other well known personalities as they pledge their support for children. They're asking you to do the same.
