Okay, if you go check out www.FreeRice.com, you can get impoverished people around the world rice. All you have to do is answer vocab questions. It automatically adjusts to your level after a few questions. 10 grains for 1 word. That may not sound like a lot now, but in like 5-10 minutes, I got like a 1500 grains for the poor and hungry around the world. Seriously, GO CHECK IT OUT!! It’s really easy and if you do this for like 10 minutes a day, you could feed a ton of people. GO DO IT!!! The people who do this make no money. None!! So it’s a great organization.

List of other sites you should check out:

one.org - One Campaign

poverty.com - Hunger and World Poverty

wpf.org/english - United Nations World Food Program

endpoverty2015.org - The UN estimates that the world needs about $195 billion to end world poverty. 22 countries have signed on to donate 0.7% of their national income to reach this goal. 6 countries have already accomplished this. All but 6 others have set a deadline for when they will reach their goal.

AIDs.org - Educating and Ending AIDs

All of these websites deal with ending poverty, AIDs, diseases, hunger, and many important issues.

No, they are not links. I have not figured that out yet. On the friends/other links, there are links to my 2 favorite.
