On occasion, we here at No Fact Zone like to join the blogging community in a cause that helps make the world better. Well, makes the world better in a way that does not involve sharing more pictures of Stephen Colbert on the internet.

Today is Blogger Action Day, where thousands of bloggers from all over America and the world take time to discuss a topic that is of importance. This year, the topic of discussion is Poverty. I encourage each of you today to take a moment of time out of your life to think about a small action you can do to help reduce the suffering of those who are living in poverty.

One way of making a positive action against poverty is participating in a project called Kiva Loans. (I’m not sure how many of you are aware of it, but our host, Draknet, is participating in the Kiva loans program.) Kiva loans make micro-loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries, which has a direct affect on the lives of those in poverty stricken areas. Kiva loans, for as small as $25, are enough to make a huge difference in the affect of poverty on people’s lives all over the globe.
