My name is Jahan Sharif and I created this blog to both raise money so I can participate in a university run program focusing on poverty elimination through microenterprise, taking place in June 2010, and to raise awareness about global poverty, and the measures being taken to reduce it. I invite you to look around the blog and explore the links I've included. Check back weekly to keep updated with my fundraising progress, and other news on the fight on poverty!!!
