G8, C8, J8

Today is Make Poverty History children’s day and I’m going to be following pupils from Langdon school in east London who are taking part in both the C8 and the J8 youth conferences, which are both drawing to a close today. You can hear audio from them later this morning. The Guardian first featured the Langdon pupils when they took part in the Make Poverty History rally in Trafalgar Square in February where they met Nelson Mandela.
