Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area! I'm new here, and positive news seems like the best fit.
There's a website, freerice.com that is a charity giving website. Basically you just play vocabulary games, math games, etc, and each answer you get right is worth 10 grains of rice. Now, it takes about 19,200 grains of rice or so to feed a person, but, it really doesn't take too long to get maybe a thousand or two thousand a day. It's a legit website, and here's the numbers.
"In its first ten months of operation, Freerice donated over 42 billion grains of rice. One month after the inception of the viral marketing program, users had earned enough points for one billion grains of rice. The United Nation's World Food Program stated that this amount could feed 50,000 people for one day,[4] since it takes 400 grams or about 19,200 grains of rice to feed one adult for a day.[5] Using this calculation, enough rice was donated in 2008 to feed over 6,000 people daily for each day of that year.[6] Since its inception, as of March 16, 2012, Freerice players had earned sufficient rice to feed nearly 5 million people two meals for one day."
Anyway, I just really wanted to share because I know times are tough with money and some of us wish we could donate more to those in need, and this is definitely something good we can do!
