Reminder
Hey, remember how I told y’all about Poverty Fighters? And put the button on the right over there? ————————->
Well, in case you haven’t been reading the news (or the right kind of news, at any rate ;-)), I thought I would mention that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee made a most fantastic choice of laureate this year. It awarded the 2006 prize jointly to Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh, and the Bangladeshi bank he founded, Grameen Bank: for their “efforts to create economic and social development from below” through work in micro-credit loans. Hooray! I told you micro-credit was cool. I told you clicking that thing every day would make a difference. I bet you didn’t really believe me. But now I’ve got the Nobel Peace Prize Committee on my side, baby.
So go ye forth and click some more. You are working for peace every time you do. Peace.
Click.
Edit: Heh. Perhaps due to increased visibility, Poverty Fighters has cleaned up their website and is working on making it even better (it does look prettier). So my button has temporarily disappeared, making that arrow up there look very silly indeed. But STILL.
:-)
I’ll let you know when I put a new button on.
