mlk2005_cncs_smallTo coincide with the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, an effort is being made to transform MLK Day into a day of service.

To take part of this program, I’m pledging to create one post per day this week highlighting various charities, organizations, and efforts both within the United States and across the world.

In addition to my blog posts, I’ll also be pushing this across various social applications and profiles I belong to, including Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, delicious.com, myspace, and other profiles.

I encourage you to take part in this transformation and spread the word, serve, or donate to honor this great man.
