A Blog Post for Poverty

Instead of writing about the just completed Canadian election (lowest voter turnout EVER), this post is dedicated to the issue of poverty.

Today, bloggers throughout the world are dedicating their posts to the issue of poverty. More specifically, poverty alleviation.

I don't consider myself a blogger nor an expert on how to eradicate poverty.

However, there are many people and organizations who are doing their part for the cause. And so I dedicate this post to them. Check them out.

1. The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) focuses on health, education, culture, rural development, institution-building and the promotion of economic development. It is dedicated to improving living conditions and opportunities for the poor, without regard to their faith, origin or gender.
2. Loans that change lives. Really? Sure! http://www.kiva.org/
3. Nobel Peace Prize recipient Muhammad Yunus
