It has always been a nagging thought at the back of my mind - finding a way to make a difference. Certainly, making a blog is not one of those ways? I don't know. I think it is. Many people have altered and revolutionized the way the Internet is supposed to be used. An online diary! Now why didn't think of that?

But like I previously posted, I don't want to be famous because of blogging. I, however, want to contribute, there's a difference. A significant contribution, one that goes a long way. And then, while browsing through mungkey's blog, I noticed the way cool ribbon you now see on the top right corner of my site.

MakePovertyHistory.org is pushing for the changes to help alleviate the alarming conditions of poverty throughout the world. Now I am not a rich man, and can barely support myself, so what can I do? WHAT I CAN, of course. Help spread the word, chip in to the effort, PRAY.

I mean, 30,000 children dying because of poverty. EVERY DAY. If that doesn't make you sad just yet, think of your own children, born or unborn. No child, no PERSON deserves to go hungry. So let's do something about it. Help spread the word. Be aware.

When I get off work, I'm going to go look for that white band. Not only does it look cool, I get to help people. This is something I really want to get serious about. I've never been an advocate for any cause, not publicly nor strongly, but I believe it's the right time, and I think this is the right cause. I also urge you to at least take a look at the website. Please help save more than 800 million lives.
