Okay, so I've decided to pick up this blog again with a different strategy. The first thing I'd like to share with you is a site I recently heard about called Free Rice. This site is aimed at doing something to fight world hunger, and all you need to do is play games. How it works is you play a quiz-type game and for each answer you get right, 10 grains of rice get donated to the World Food Program. Free Rice gets the money by selling ad space in the form of a banner at the bottom of each page when a question is answered right, which they then use to buy the rice from farmers near the areas they support, donating it to help feed people in those areas that wouldn't be able to afford enough, if any, food on their own. All in all, if you have nothing to do, why not try it? You have nothing to lose by doing so. You will, however, be learning something, feeding people, and helping farmers and businesses all with minimal effort.
