Count Me In! or Apila Ko! is World Vision Organization‘s new campaign against the inability for children to go to school.

The ONE Campaign. It’s all about increasing the global awareness about global poverty, disease, hunger. This campaign is basically about Americans coming together as ONE to fight off the said issues, not just in the United States, but also in other developing countries.

I personally signed up for the ONE campaign even though I don’t really know how I can help. But still, one signature can make a lot of difference. It’s a non-profit organization, and is actually very helpful in expanding awareness of the current issues involving the most impoverished countries. I may not be American, but I know I can help in even the littlest way possible. I’m not financially equipped enough to start donations, but my actions can start a revolution if I wanted to. It’s amazing what one person can do. Just imagine what so many people acting as ONE can.

If you are fairly contented with what you have right now, there’s no harm in being thankful for all your blessings and even sharing them. So why not share them with those who need them the most?
