Yesterday was Blog Action Day Poverty. Last time I looked they were up to 12,730 sites participating and an estimated audience of 13,430,685. I figure about 10 to 12 of them were my readers, but I am beginning to believe more and more that the real impact will come from the "longtail" overtime from this blog and thousands like it. CoolPeopleCare also blogged on Poverty yesterday. They have significantly more impact. Today Sam Davidson of CoolPeopleCare is reminding us that today is World Food Day.

Sam Davidson has been featured in this blog previously and World Food Day helps address and create awareness about Millennium Development Goal 1. End Hunger. Tomorrow is “STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY”.
