One of the reasons we decided to take on this poverty project was to create a dialogue. Well, I think we finally took one small step in that direction. (Actually, I did have one comment on the May 5th posting on this blog; thanks again!) I'm happy to say that this morning's Deseret News story has received a bit of feedback. We've been in the media several other places but until today there has been no proof that people are giving any additional thought to the poverty issue. Read the story and comments here.
Thanks Jim for the great story.
About Me
- Shawn
- May is National Community Action Month (NCAM), and the 45th anniversary of Community Action. As an employee of Community Action Partnership of Utah, I have pledged to live at 100% of the poverty level for 3 weeks - from May 1st until May 21st. My family is going to participate with me. While my wife and I prepared for this for a week, I'm sure that my unsuspecting (and at times demanding) 2 1/2 year old daughter is going to find many surprises along the way.
