Feeding the hungry is as simple as a click away. 10 grains of rice per word may not seem like much, but the site donates based on revenue brought in by its advertisements. Meaning, more visitors and players can increase the amount of grains per word. Also, getting over 5,000 grains a day is not hard to do. Kindly join in on the fun!

Wow... I really like sites that have these kind of good things about them. I really hope that they actually do help to feed the hungry around the word, cause sometimes it feels like I'd like to do more, but just don't have the time or ideas on what I can do, but even if I can help out in just a small way, it's nice to know that if there are a lot of people that are also doing their small part, that it can actually do something much larger.
Thanks for sharing this sort of site, and I can't wait to see how much I can help out

Yay. I went on this site and got about 3000 grains of rice (not in one go).
All I can say to them is; good luck counting them out. |

Awesome find truefusion. I'll be sure to visit it often. This is the kind of help i think the world needs. I don't think the government should get involved with this stuff. People are perfectly capable of helping those in need by themselves and this is a great example.

QUOTE(Liam_CF @ Nov 20 2007, 10:32 AM)  All I can say to them is; good luck counting them out. hahahaha i was thinking the same thing.....but i think they know approximately how many grains in 1 pound of rice on a serious note, i loved the website. for someone like me who loves helping people and not ever having enough money to donate much of it, this site is GREAT. i plan on making a commitment to myself to do at least 700 grains a week and plan on putting a banner up on one of my websites to advertise it and advise others to join in support and do the same i'm also going to be telling all my friends about the site and i suggest everyone do the same. it's no out of pocket money and about 2 minutes of your time per day average to feed one good meal to a starving human being that probably doesn't have a long lifespan otherwise. this is one of those posts that need to be pinned and bumped to the top20 ever so often in support! |

This is pretty amazing.
I keep it open in Firefox as a tab and go to it to do some words every now and then while I'm online. I try to get 100 grains each day at the very least... I try to post bulletins as often as I can about these things... if you're on FaceBook, you can join my group for an easy reference to free or effortless ways to make a difference in the world. I think I'll post something else I found too in a new thread, if it hasn't been posted already.
