Blog Action Day - Poverty. October 15th, 2008

Over 12,000 bloggers are writing about world poverty today. I hope you’ll read my story, then head over to the Blog Action Day website for links to other blogs.  Free From Broke, and Prime Time Money, both personal finance blogs, have posted on poverty today as well.

My Post from March 15th, 2008:

As my regular readers already know, my Uncle Mike is very involved in assisting the poor children in impoverished Haiti. He has made friends with two other volunteers there, who have kept a blog of their experiences. It can be difficult reading, but it’s a first hand view of the difficulties this country’s people endure. We thought we’d share it with you.

This is from the introduction to Maria’s Blog, Live From Haiti:

“Maria and John Carroll spend several months a year living in Haiti. John works as doctor in this scandalously poor country. Maria writes about John’s hard work. Haiti is the kind of place that breaks your heart as it fills it up. The more people learn about this country, only 600 miles from the United States, with its lovely, suffering people, the better off we will be.   And isn’t that what we all want, especially your mother?”

Does anyone out there have any similar experiences?
