Our Day to End Poverty: 24 Ways You Can Make a Difference (Bk Currents)by Shannon Daley-harris
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Imagine ending poverty at home and around the globe in our own lifetimes. Imagine your actions combining with others; actions to make poverty history. With originality and imagination, this book invites us to look at our very ordinary days, from waking up in the morning to going to bed in the evening, and to begin to think about poverty in new and creative ways. "Our Day to End Poverty" is organized into 24 "hour/chapter" segments. Each chapter/hour of the day proposes a variety of fun and practical actions one can take to help overcome domestic and global poverty. The chapters are short and pithy, full of specific facts and a menu of alternative action steps. Each chapter connects with your day, from breakfast to bedtime, relatinng these steps to ending poverty to our daily routines. Some times a problem gets to be so big, we feel there is nothing we can do about it. "Our Day to End Poverty" reminds us that if we all do just a little, a lot can get done. Book News Annotation:In 24 chapters that parallel 24 hours, Daley-Harris and Keenan
outline ways that people can help end poverty. Each describes a
practical action for combating poverty and includes a variety of
specific ways to learn, contribute, serve, and live, in a checklist
of sorts. The three parts that make up the book reflect UN Millennium
development Goals and address actions relating to education, ending
hunger and malnutrition, technology, access to microcredit, universal
health care, housing, literacy, transportation, access to clean
water, community, and sustainable environmental practices. Keenan is
a strategic initiatives manager, and Daley-Harris is a freelance
writer, editor, and consultant who has worked with the Children's
Defense Fund, among other organizations. They were inspired to write
the book by 50 Simple Things you Can Do to Save the Earth. Their book
lacks a bibliography, but resources are mentioned along with the
actions.
