We thought you'd like to know about a cool way to draw attention to global poverty -- Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty on October 15, 2008. Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. The aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.
Global issues like poverty are extremely complex. There is no simple, clear answer. By asking thousands of different people to give their viewpoints and opinions, Blog Action Day creates an extraordinary lens through which to view these issues.
Each blogger brings their own perspective and ideas. Each blogger posts relating to their own blog topic. And each blogger engages their audience differently. This event is not just for blogs that write about the development sector; it is open to every type of blogger.
GiveIndia is registered to take part in this movement and I encourage you to do so as well. More than 6500 bloggers have signed up. What are you waiting for? Register yourself today and then on October 15, write a post about poverty — your thoughts, how to fix it, a personal anecdote, the problems it brings, anything — just do it!
