I finally had a free day today to “get my life back together,” as I like to call it. This gave me some time to handle the more important things in life, such as getting a warm cup of tea and catching up on blogs. Though I was trying to get my mind off of work and anything official, I stumbled on this post on a site I like to visit:
Rise Your Hopeful Voice: Why We are Responsible for Third World Poverty, and How to Change it
It’s rare to see posts and articles about global poverty that approach the topic in a simple manner. It’s even more rare to see one that directly asks lets you know the way you’re involved and what you can do to help. (Unless of course you’re on a site direclty involved with poverty fighting orgs
).
I found the article helpful in articulating briefly all the issues that ONE talks about as well as offering some goals and solutions that we can all do. It avoids the traditional guilt trip found in articles about these issues and seeks to get readers involved. It event links you to ONE and Stand Up!!
Read through, reflect and discuss.
