Good idea. Getting people to talk and show support is key.

I love the idea of people helping people to help themselves (of course, don’t get me wrong – I also love the idea of people simply doing what they can at the time – giving a dollar, handing out a sandwich, volunteering at a “soup kitchen,” etc.) There are immediate, “band aid” fixes, and there are more involved, permanent fixes. I believe both kinds work well together to help end poverty.

Microlending is a brilliant and studies are showing they are no more risky than traditional loans. It’s a real way to effect change. It’s great to see blogs talking about it.

Excellent effort guru. It’s great to see such a dedicated effort to get others involved. And very creative use of twitter too!

For our part, MobileMammoth will be funding a project for a struggling entrepreneur in Africa through Kiva – here’s our blog action day post:

Great job! Your strategy of visiting other people’s blogs and writing comments has obviously paid off in how many people have returned the favor. That is a great networking strategy which I also try to incorporate in what I do.

I also posted a blog article yesterday, pointing out some of the same things you’ve said. We need to keep doing this every day so we reach more people, encourage those who are involved, and engage those who are not yet involved.

However, I also showed how maps can be used to point people to places where poverty is most concentrated and to organizations doing work in these different places. Without the map to guide our actions, it’s likely that highly visiblie organizations or places will get the most attention, and other places with great needs will get limited, or inconsistent attention.

With the map we can encourage a better distribution of resources and programs, and help to connect programs in the same area with each other.

I hope you’ll take a look.

It’s really great to see that there are still people who have their own way to make a difference this world. I think each one of us should have a foundation to support. Sharing a bit of our income wouldn’t hurt. Give a little love and it all comes back to you. It might be little but together, we can make a big difference.
