Oops. “Be *on*,” not just “be.” I’m NOT the whole team, that’s for sure. :)

Darren, so glad you’re planning to participate. I’m grateful to be the Blog Action Day Twitter/translations/support/promotion team. We’re shooting to break last year’s tally of just over 20,000 and to do it fast. I feel in my bones that we can make something big and lasting happen somewhere in the world – even if it’s just in our own neighborhoods – and that this is a fantastic way to join together to do it.

Darren, you can count me in. I already signed up and submitted my blog, but I have no idea what to write about. The subject must cover not only the poverty issue but also in some way be related to what my blog is about. So are we teaming up with you for a group project or would we still have to come up with blog posts of our own?

I’m also fairly new to blogging but the topic fits very well with the general theme of my blog so I’m definitely going to make a note of it and write something for the occasion.

I’ve sent the URL to several blogger friends. Get the word out!

Great idea. Thanks, Darren!

I’m in. I have a lot that I think I’ll be able to blog about. In fact, I’ll start writing them now and have them publish automatically on that day.

Thanks for the heads-up!

This sounds really interesting. I can’t wait to see what great ideas and discussions surface from the event.

Though I’m still trying to decide if I have anything worth-while to bring to the table. Well, even if I don’t, at least this will be a chance to be educated by others.

I’m in.

Interesting video and cause, Darren. Here in Washington, DC the level of poverty and homelessness is unreal. I’ve checked out blogactionday.org and I’ll be happy to participate.

Many thanks,
Scott

Awww, something I know too well. I grew up in poverty as a young child. I remember not getting to eat some nights or having clothes that kids made fun of.

My mom worked hard at 2 jobs to get us out of poverty. She did an awesome job!

Thanks for letting us know!

I haven’t really experienced Blog Action Day. Being new to blogging that is. But it would be really interesting to join this event. In my country alone(Philippines), poverty is on the rise. The percentage of people who are hungry is so high in here. Just yesterday, I saw a family on TV that lives on a truck. The truck is the simple delivery truck and it does not have furnishings.

To further prove my point, here are some videos that depict poverty in my country.
