This "Let's Make Poverty History" thing I've been hearing a lot in recently from the UK radio stations.

Can anyone tell me what's going on with this?

The best way to find out about this excellent cause is to visit the website itself.

Does this "Make Poverty History" have anything to do with Live-8 global concert and the G8 summit?
