Today Is Blog Action Day. Subject: Poverty

Today is international Blog Action Day.  Thousands of bloggers around the world are writing to raise awareness about a single subject; poverty.  Many, including Hypebot, will be donating 100% of today’s ad revenue to non-profits working to fight poverty.  (So please do a little bit of extra clicking around and exploring our advertisers. It helps.)

I don’t have anything new or eloquent to write about poverty. I do believe that it is shameful that in a world where many of  us have so much; so many still have so very little.  It does not speak well of us.

But giving even a little can help a lot. Hypebot’s parent Skyline Music is jump starting our effort with a $100 donation to Kiva a micro-lending lending organization aimed at small entrepeneurs in third world countries.  Today’s ad revenue will go to Kiva as well.  Please consider making a donation to help fight today. Below is a random example of the kinds of projects Kiva is lending to. Click on it to learn more and donate.
