Feed the Hungry April 13th, 2009
If you look up the meaning of hunger in the dictionary you will find that it actually has three meanings. One says, “the uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite. The exhausted condition caused by want of food.” Another says, “the want or scarcity of food in a country.” And then the last one says, “a strong desire or craving.”
It`s hard to imagine that 963 million people around the world are just that… hungry. I often wonder if I am doing enough to fight hunger. I `ve fed the homeless and given to organizations that feed the hungry but I wondered what more I could do with limited resources and time. Then I stumbled upon a website called www.Freerice.com. The site gives you questions to answer and for every answer you get right they will donate 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. I know 10 grains of rice doesn`t seem like a lot but if you keep playing you keep earning rice and next thing you know, you have 500 grains of rice.
Honestly, this really is almost too easy. You don`t have to leave your home or even get out of your chair. Please take a few moments out of your day to look at the site!
