Compassion Bloggers
I have just signed up with Compassion Bloggers, to be part of the effort to spread some of the news and efforts of Compassion International. Shaun Groves whom I wrote about in a previous post, works part-time with Compassion International and runs Compassion Bloggers. Shaun writes on his shlog:
Every month I’ll be sending out an e-mail (to folks who sign-up for it) asking bloggers to post about a specific Compassion-related need. Last month, for example, it was a campaign to buy malaria nets. Thousands of dollars were raised through the efforts of bloggers so that thousands of kids can now sleep without being bitten by a malaria-ridden mosquito. That’s thousands of kids released from disease.
I’m calling these little e-mailed thingies “assignments”, but think of them as “missions” or “directives” or “stuff to blog about when you’re out of stuff to blog about” if that’s better for you. No matter what they’re called, they’re important in mobilizing bloggers to use their words and their corner of the blogosphere to make real changes in the developing world.
And another thing. If you blog for Compassion like this on a monthly basis, I’ll send you a little bitty badge thingy you can put in the sidebar of your blog that simply says “I’m A Compassion Blogger.” That’s coming soon.
I would encourage you to sign up and add just one post a month on your own blog to Compassion and the work they are doing.
