For those of you who don’t already know Blog Action Day 2008 is focused on the topic of Poverty.  Blog Action Day is a day when bloggers come together to blog about a single topic with the intent of bringing these issues to the forefront of everyone’s mind and making a difference.  Blog Action Day 2008 is on October 15th.  We’ll be doing something special this day, but I couldn’t wait to let you all know what’s going on at this point.

Some of you may remember last year when my wife and I donated some money to Operation Smile.  We made another donation quite recently to a different charity called Feed the Children.  We did this right before I ran across the Blog Action Day for 2008 and noticed that it was focused on Poverty.  Thinking this was quite a coincidence I thought I’d start out the focus on Poverty this year a little bit early.  I know I’ve asked the question before, but I want to ask again, but this time with a different focus.

What charities have you donated to - or do you plan to donate to sometime this year - that are focused on helping with Poverty?
