	Sing Out Against Poverty! Compose your own StandUp School song - to perform anytime, anywhere

	Any time from now on, StandUp Schools might like to make up their own song to the simple words below. It's something to engage many minds - musical or otherwise. All sorts of fitting tunes may come to mind. You can do it as a class, or whole school. It might be sung in unison, or as a round, or with soloists. And there's certainly some scope for actions, syncopation, and volume! One suggestion is to song as you leave assembly - giving you something to sing as you go off to classrooms. And if you feel like posting it on YouTube or elsewhere, that's fine. Just tell Hugh by e-mail if you do. He'll post a link on your entry in the StandUp School Tables. And there might be some way of judging the best - and making some little awards... You might also like to engage your local radio station, who'll probably be delighted to take your on board.	Slumdog Millionnaire composer and long-time UN Millennium Campaign supporter AR Rahman took home two Oscars at the Academy Awards this year, for best original score and best original song in the hit film. Rahman has long been a supporter of the Millennium Development Goals. In 2007, he served as one of three judges evaluating competing singers on "Mission Ustaad," a blockbuster television program in India with the mission of "making a difference by promoting the Millennium Development Goals." Rahman has also performed at an anti-poverty concert in Delhi, launched an anti-poverty song entitled "Pray for Me Brother" and appeared in two of the Millennium Campaign's public service announcements.

We stand up We stand up We stand up against poverty We stand up We stand up Count on us! Ideally, changing each verse to include actions! We speak out... We sing out... We shout out... We stand up... And if you want, you can add in somewhere East, West, North, South You can also add simple words like Yes! Good composing!
