Blog Action Day 2008

Ironically, this year's topic is a troubling one. Growing up, poverty was not foreign to my family or my community, so I am familiar with it's burdens, worries and it's only gift( the ability to 'do without'). Despite having first hand experience in dealing with poverty, I do not possess the distance or full grasp of economics and politics to accurately compose a 'useful' article. In other words, when October 15th rolls around, do not expect to see a treatise on poverty in this space. However, you may find an article taking a slightly different tack, where my first hand experience might be better suited. Stay tuned.
