I met today with three of the fine folks at One Day’s Wages, a Seattle-based non-profit which is generating a global grassroots community to end extreme poverty.

Last November, I blogged and posted a link to the launch video for the group (watch it if you haven’t already, or watch it again if you have :-)). They have gotten a great deal of momentum in the past several months, and have recently announced their first funding grant, to enable education for Burmese migrant workers.

I’ll write more here as the results of our meeting take shape, but I’ll be volunteering some time to help ODW’s street teams to spread the word about the agency and its vision. It’s going to be a fun role, and I am happy to support a great team to get the word out about their dead-simple approach to attacking extreme poverty across the globe.

If you haven’t registered yet for the website, create a profile and check out the site – there’s a lot of good information there already.

And, please consider signing up for the Global Street Team if you’d like to make a unique impact on poverty across the planet!
