Call for ActionAid Bloggers – Make a Difference

We all know that blogging is a rewarding endeavor. Now imagine if you could take that joy and add in an element of philanthropy? ActionAid Australia, an international anti-poverty agency, is planning to send up to 10 bloggers to poverty-stricken countries, in an effort to establish a network of outreach blogs.

Part of the gig includes setting locals up with the equipment and know-how they need to tell their stories.

The organization is hoping to have their next Australian blogger on the ground before Christmas ’09.

If you are dreaming of giving those a social media voice who might not otherwise be heard, this is your chance!

ActionAid is currently trying to raise $10,000 in order to help cover the cost of the next blog outpost.
