I recently was asked to join a group of worldwide bloggers in a fight against poverty by participating in Blog Action Day 2008. The idea is that today, October 15th, across the globe, millions of bloggers will be raising awareness about the worldwide poverty problem.
Now, I live in a pretty upscale part of the country. However, I come from Brooklyn, NY, and I have seen my share of poverty. Besides all the local Projects, my Father taught for over 15 years at the Jim Thorpe school in Brooklyn. This school was the last line of schools before they kicked you out permanently. It was filled with poverty stricken families who had turned to crime mostly to survive.
