Merlyn, this is a great list of resources. It is eye opening to realize how little it really takes to make a difference. Far too often we think we don’t have enough but our “not enough” is truly a great blessing. I hope that we all remember in our day to day life that we can solve these problems with even a little effort over a sustained period of time.

Hi Merlyn!
Thank you! Although the problem of poverty in the world has concerned me for a very long time, all your links have opened so many avenues of action for a single person to pursue in order to make a difference…. Thank you. Now to spread the word!!!!! Because we each can make a difference!
All the best,
Lisa

I’m so glad to see that you also did a Blog Action Day post, and mentioned Kiva — that’s what I talked about on my Blog Action Day post also, and such an amazing, highly-personal non-profit, tailor made for us small business owners.

Thank you DeAnna. Unfortunately, I only found out about the Blog Action Day last night or I would have publicized it sooner. But better late than never. Thank you for your support!
