Blog Action Day is here again . .
. and this year’s theme is The Power of We! Bloggers are
hitting the key boards, ipads and phones to lend their voices to world change,
because we believe we can use our skills to institute world change. Whether our voices are calling for an end to
the child sex slave trade, providing water for the people; bringing Christmas
gifts, love and hope to children who have never received a gift before;
treating AIDS; fighting for disability reform; dispelling myths around
epilepsy; educating women about cancer and making it a preventable disease; We
members of BAD#12 believe our collective voices are heard and result in real
change!
Mother Teresa one of the greatest
humanitarians of our times said, “If you
can’t feed a hundred hungry people, then just feed one.” For me, the true meaning of the power of we, is about millions of
alone voices, joining collective voices, changing our world one person at a
time. You can smile at a stranger, you can hug someone you love, you can feed a
stranger, you can build a well for clean water, you can provide a child’s
school books, you can pay for a vaccination, you can urge a girl friend to be
diligent in her own health care or you can give a stranger a copy of a book
that influenced you the most. If enough of these one off acts are performed by
individuals then a catalyst for world change has begun. Will you join me on
World Blog Day to knock down a domino to create a change in our world, because
we do hold the power?
