Thanks for the post! What a great day. I’m sure I speak for everyone – it was an honour to serve with ONE and be a part of engaging fellow ‘Vancouverites’ to raise their voices against poverty & injustice.

Peace.

I think your blog post on volunteers supporting the ONE organization and the end poverty movement is wonderful. I am a college student, and in my class on Globalization and Poverty, we have read Peter Singer’s new book “The Life You Can Save.” Singer describes one of the great obstacles that people face when deciding to donate to charities is that they often cannot identify with the masses of people they see in poverty. Singer reported that by telling potential donors about individual people, telling stories of one person’s struggle, can increase donations. I wonder if your stories about the ONE volunteers may have a similar effect; will more people be inspired to donate time and money after reading your blog? I hope so, and at any rate, these stories were inspiring to me. Thank you,
