Does poverty have a face?
I am still hunting up a photo to complement my article at Mommyluscious for Blog Action Day, but every time I see the face of a child begging for food or lying in the street with a cup for a few pesos, my heart breaks. I have to stop because I don't want to cry. And as ashamed as I am to say it, I can't look into their eyes long, even through the lens of a camera, without tearing up inside and I have to look away before my feelings get the better of me.

CALL OUTS FOR BLOG ACTION DAY!
Posted by Mommyluscious Labels: advocacy, blog action day, blogging, poverty
October 15 is the BIG DAY for bloggers, podcasters and videocasters all over the world wide web! It's when all of us talk, post and blog about one topic, create enough noise to be heard about it and hopefully effect a change that would go beyond our computer monitors. This year, the topic is about Poverty. We see enough of it everyday, but what do we do about it?
Ripples, people! Ripples! The power of the written word, bloggers! Pen, mightier than the sword! The spoken word puts ideas into other people's heads! Let's use what we have to bring this issue out and make it possible for our thoughts, ideas and feelings to walk out into the world and into concrete action.
Just one day. Imagine what could happen if we all talked about it, all at the same time! How far would our ripples go? Let's see it touch the lives of people all over the world!
Join us! Click that graphic up there and contribute a little of your time to make that ripple grow!
