It is both very welcome and very challenging to think of, find and actually shoot a winning "idea" as a photo. Personally, I could see the role of technology in "giving a hand" to people in all walks of life.

* Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
* Achieve universal primary education
* Promote gender equality and empower women
* Reduce child mortality
* Improve maternal health
* Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
* Ensure environmental sustainability
* Develop a Global Partnership for Development
"The winning photos will be exhibited during the UN MDG Summit and UN General Assembly in September, 2010 in New York, when world leaders will meet to recommit and redouble their efforts in the fight against extreme poverty. " http://picturethis.undp.org/

Hello Ruperto, this is cool. I do hope lots of people will participate in such contest. I remember when I used to work overseas I joined one photo contest and there were different nationalities who joined but proudly speaking out of 200 entries though I didn't take the first place I got the second place winner.
Will you be joining the contest? Good luck to you. I wish I can join too :)

That's a big achievement Sheanne. I haven't joined the photo contest yet.
But I am thinking of good ideas on a photo shoot to help ease poverty.
I think I would be interested in alternative energy sources giving water and electricity to remote areas of the country.
What do you think? Good luck too :)
