HAMILTON (Bermuda): In support of the upcoming 2002 UN World Summit on Sustainable Development, Intelsat is sponsoring the global distribution of a half-hour television special called "One Child - One Voice," a UN-endorsed program that inspires grassroots involvement in worldwide environmental issues. 

Intelsat has donated satellite capacity and financial aid for distributing the TV special that will be sent to nearly 3,000 broadcasters worldwide for their unlimited use in public education programming. "One Child - One Voice" is a video produced by award winning filmmaker Barbara Pyle that is based upon the true stories of children around the world and addresses a wide array of environmental issues. 

The program calls for support of the Tree Of Life campaign, which invites children worldwide to voice their support for the goals of the UN Summit by drawing a leaf on a postcard and sending it to be hung on an artist-created "Tree Of Life". The Tree will be placed in Johannesburg, South Africa at the UN Summit site for world leaders and others to view. This year's campaign is expected to be larger than the Tree Of Life campaign surrounding the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, which boasted leaves from over a million viewers from all continents.

The UN Summit will take place in Johannesburg from 26 August through 4 September.
