What is Blog Action Day 2008 – Poverty? It’s a worthy endeavor to encourage bloggers to ”DO Something About Poverty Right Now”, and then blog about it. The Action Blog at the official Blog Action Day site suggests “88 Ways to Take Action Against Poverty Right Now”.
When I last checked, there were over 12,000 sites blogging about Blog Action Day 2008. This is awesome! What an excellent reminder of what is important on this planet we all live in. This is a worthy cause I support.
My personal feelings
My childhood illustrates how caring individuals can really make a difference in a child’s life, even in the small things they do. My father was a good man. He got sick and died when I was 9 years old, leaving several children for my mom to raise. So I grew up in a poor family, although I didn’t know it at the time. We had what we needed. I really appreciate all the things our neighbors and church friends did to bless our lives while I was growing up.
It is important for me now to help less fortunate children, to be their friend, to teach, encourage and inspire them. My wife, Tanda, and I are always looking for ways to share with others. She is such a wonderful example of a loving, compassionate, Christian woman. We are currently working to make our businesses successful so that we can generate enough surplus to contribute on a larger scale to help alleviate poverty. We also look forward to the time when we can serve a full-time mission. We are hoping to go to a country where we can really make a difference.
Tanda and I want to encourage you to find ways to share what your have with those who are in such desperate need.
