The ONE Campaign. Also, one thousand visits to my blog!


By TheOptimist(4,576)



One Campaign

If you haven't heard of the ONE campaign, it is "the campaign to make poverty history". If you want to help end poverty please take ONE minute to visit the one.org website and ad your name to the ONE Declaration:

One Declaration

You can also support the cause by joining your local ONE group and by wearing the ONE wristband. Please visit the One.org website for more information.

I am fortunate to have had a chance to visit Africa. While on the beautiful continent I got to see the third world for my self. I went to Ghana and saw the poverty that people lived in. Many people that were fortunate to have jobs would only earn a dollar a day, and would have to make this feed them and their family. Many lived in mud houses and couldn't afford to eat a proper diet, they were therefore malnourished.

It was sad to see the living conditions, however the Ghanain people themselves were very strong and were not looking for a hand out...They just wanted more opportunity to help themselves. Thanks to everyone that takes a moment to join this worthy cause. If people work together we can make a huge difference.

One Thousand Visits!

I am excited to see that my blog has received over a thousand visits since I set up at ProBlogs, and I am the most visited site on Problogs.com!

Thanks to everyone that stops by and to those that have subscribed to my RSS feed. It is good to see that a positive message can get so much attention.

Keep positive and stay optimistic!

Hi! I work with the ONE Campaign and I just came across your blog, and I wanted to say thanks for the great post regarding ONE. I also wanted to see if it might be possible for ONE to add your blog to our list of supporters? We're currently in the process of updating and restructuring our blog page,in an effort to build up the poverty/AIDS blogoshpere, and we would love to add yours to our supporters list. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have, at: meagan@data.org. Thanks again for your support, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Lived in Ghana for 4 years. Maybe its a third world country but the people are not malnourished. They farm and eat reletively well
