What is poverty to you?
October 15, 2008
POVERTY is one of those words that we often associate with some South African countries. It brings an image of some skinny-starving children in some villages on a faraway desert. It reminds us to finish our food and vegetables however much we dislike them, because somewhere far away, somebody’s going to bed hungry.
POVERTY is one of those words that really does not mean anything to us because we are such fortunate people.
But that shouldn’t stop us from doing something. If you’re looking for some ideas on what YOU, as an individual can do to stop poverty, here’s a list of 88 ways to do something about poverty. Go on and pick something from the list and do it. Or you could think about something new and add it onto the list.
Whatever it is, just do something. Because by taking action, some kids will have some food tonight before they go to bed.
Lots of contests, but are you in?

You know what’s funny?
I am running a series of simple-to-play and fun contests on the official Pink for October website, but why aren’t YOU participating? We are giving away a lot of attractive prizes throughout the month, plus, it’s for a good cause! Did you know that by participating, you are actually reaching out to your readers and increasing awareness on this deadly but preventable disease? :D
So let me tell you more about the contests that I’m running:
Every Monday and Thursday, I will announce a word, and you are supposed to find or take a picture that best describes that word and blog about it. After that, you should drop by and leave me a comment and link on the post. It’s that easy! On Oct 31st, I will randomly pick a lucky winner from all those who leave me a comment. Which means that the more you play, the higher your chances are of winning something :D
On top of that, there are also those month-long contests. You could either share a breast cancer related true story, or you could design a Pink for October button/banner/badge, and and on Oct 31st, I will randomly pick a winner.
Seriously, MY CONTESTS are definitely easier than those that ask you to write a 5000-word essay about your first love, or why you like to watch rainbows, no?
Come and join us! :vodka:
