End of the Challenge

Today is the last day of the challenge with a wrap up luncheon at 12:00pm.  The stories, insight and information brought to us through the participant's blogs have been absolutely awe-inspiring. 
Thank you to all the readers.  It is amazing to see how many people follow the blogs each day. 
The media, we could not get the word out there without you.  Thank you.
Challengers, thank you for opening yourselves up and participating in this event.  Your "Walk in Other's Shoes" is a few steps closer to making the world a wonderful place for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you.

Day Four

Today is the first work day of the Poverty Challenge.  How will living on a very limitted budget affect the participants at their workplace??

Day Two

Where will today's challenge bring the participants?  Yesterday's theme seemed to be quite consistent in that everyone was concerned of how much food they would have the next few days.   It will be interesting to read about how they choose to spend their time during the weekend.  The weather is forecasted to be very mild, which may make finding activities a little easier than if it were 40 below.

Comments on blogs are not permitted, but feel free to send your participating friend or family member an email to ask questions or comment on their journey during this challenge.  Emails can be sent to kenorapovertychallenge@gmail.com .
