The G8 Summit begins on the same day as the Tanabata festival in Japan when people write their wishes on pieces of colored paper and hang them from Bamboo trees.
This year, people across the globe are invited to make their wish for immediate action from the G8 on education, health and HIV/AIDS, climate change and international aid.
This action has now been closed.
Thank you to the thousands of Canadians who sent their wishes to the G8 leaders. Here are some photos from the G8, where wishes from people around the world trying to make poverty history were presented to leaders.
