ShahidulNews - a blog that moves me


ShahidulNews
from blogger Shahidul Alam transports me across the world to the realities of communities in India. I received an email from Shahidul pointing me to the coverage of the floods on his blog, and I have been hooked. The photography is riveting (example to the right). The perspective broadens my own. Thanks, Shahidul.

With respect to the floods, my colleagues at ActionAid International tell me the flooding in Asia this year is one of the worst years they have ever seen. Hurricane Dean brought destruction to Central America. The earthquake in Peru. Give where you think you can lend a hand.

Regular readers may have noticed I'm highlighting some blogs I love. This is my part for the third annual Blog Day on August 31st. I decided to start early! ;-) Thanks to Beth for reminding me. About...
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.
With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.

Nancy: I'm glad you pointed out that blog. I got a trackback, but when I visited, it said the blog administrator had taken down the blog. I thought it might be some spam or something. I'm going to try again to view it.

Anol, thanks for the correction. I had read one post about the floods in India and made an incorrect assumption about the full blog. THANKS!

And Christian - I'm still having a challenge with Blogger!
