After a shock reminder that there are plenty of invisible children in the world, I wanted to do something to help them. But this isn't an easy task to achieve: How can I really help a child I don't know who lives in poverty on the other side of the world? This is the question. I want to make an actual difference, not just donate to a charity and hope for the best (although that's a great start).
So, what I plan to do here is to help raise awareness of the plight of the invisible children, go through some quick ways we can all help them and then brainstorm some ideas any one of us might use to help really make a difference.

I started Squidoo-ing (means, building Squidoo lenses or if you prefer, Web Pages on Squidoo) back in 2007. When I joined this site, I was advised to build pages on topics that were hobbies or passions of mine. That's what I did.
