Blog Action Day-Survive To Five-Save The Children

It was Winston Churchill who said, “You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give”.

Today is World Wide Blog Action Day and the topic is Poverty. This is a “me too” blog post day in the hope that we can generate one or thousands of “me too” actions to help alleviate poverty in our own country and internationally. I was reminded by Brian Clark over at Copyblogger. His eloquent post is inspiring. Brian writes the way we all wish we could. If you have a Blog, you’ve heard of Brian Clark.

Donate to Save The Children, where an admirable 90% of your donation will go out the door to help real children. Save The Children, Winston Churchill and a love of good writing appear to be what Brian and I have in common. How about you?

Hi Judy I think all realtors should get on the band wagon and sponsor a child in need. I sponsor 2 but often think I can and should do more. Even though things are bad here in our market place, there are people who have absolutely nothing to eat and no roof over their heads. How blessed we really are.

This is a great post and hopefully it will motivate more people to do something for someone less fortunate. We all have to pay it forward. If everyone would do something to help other people our world would be a better place. Thanks for reminding us to give back. Make it a great day!

Hi Betina - Thanks for your thoughts. You're so right it's a matter of doing "something" each day that helps make it a better day for someone else. Also, the Blog Actiion Day concept is a great one because it reinforces the personal initiative of reaching out.

Hi Michael - Good on you for sponsoring 2 children. This is a tough market for us. We will prevail and it won't be easy for many. The world will be better because you're in it. That's what really matters.

Hi Kathy - If you make one of the hats, send me a picutre. I'll post it and give you a link back. I've made three so far and they go quickly because they're made on straight needles and are seamed when done. Have fun!
