one + one = change

I got this from The Campaign to Make Poverty History last week. I thought it was a brilliant idea. We are going to do it and make it a fund raising evening.

By ourselves it is hard to make a global difference but if we all put our voices together we will make a difference. My $5 adds to your and yours and yours and soon we have enough to change not just one life but whole families, communities and countries. First of all, we need to change ourselves and our attitudes. Every life on this earth has value. It’s time we stepped up and honoured that with action.

Will you do something with me?

Add your voice or wear the wristband here.

Consider sharing some of your overflow. If you live in North America, trust me you likely have overflow. Here is a brilliant Canadian idea. One website where you can donate to many. SMRT!

God is challenging me to do more than ring my hands or change the channel when disturbing images of extreme poverty, war, rape etc. come across my path. These images are jarring, rightfully so.

If you read this, why don’t you consider what ONE thing you can do this week to make a difference? When you do it perhaps you could share in the comments section?
