We are leveraging our participation in the world’s most demanding sailing event to raise awareness of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Over nine months, the 2008/09 race will span 37,000 nautical miles around the globe. We launched in (1) Alicante, Spain, with port stops in (2) Cape Town, South Africa; (3) Cochin, India; (4) Singapore; (5) Qingdao, China; (6) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; (7) Boston, US; (8) Galway, Ireland; (9) Gothenburg, Sweden; (10) Stockholm, Sweden; with the final stop in (11) St. Petersburg, Russia. Throughout the race and at each port stop, we are advocating the role of telecommunications in reaching the MDGs.
