The Goals for The New Millenium

These were some of the posted goals for the New Millenium. I think that if you are a person that is interested in helping (humanity) in any way, one of these various targets in improving this world might give you an idea. This is cited from The United Nations Chronicle, an online magazine that informs on world issues. A goal that I think should be included is the outlawing of wars. If you have any ideas, feel free to add them to the list.
