Great post, Thank you for sharing, I myself wrote about it here: http://www.guruofsales.com/general/427/fight-poverty-its-blog-action-day-today and got a huge respond from readers and other bloggers. Would you please honor us and share your thoughts by leaving a comment on our post? I am trying to come up with something new tomorrow and I will include and encourage readers to visit your blog back so we can all unite to fight poverty.
This is a great idea for us Filipinos as we are aware that many of us are facing severe poverty.
In fact, I was among those who suffered since I start working at the age of 10. I believe that family plays a big role in fighting poverty.
If not for the people who treated me as a member of their family, I am sure that I am still suffering.
I submitted an entry too – Family against Poverty: Blog Action Day 2008 and hope that it can help somehow.
