Remember being a kid and hearing, “Clean your plate. There are kids starving in China”? And of course you ate- stuffing yourself on food you didn’t want that never even helped that child. Now you can pass up the peas and feel good about helping a REAL child somewhere. Hungersite is a corporately sponsored website that donates food each time you click. You pay nothing and are allowed one serving (click) per day. The Corporate sponsors foot the bill. At this time, the total servings donated (just since June 1999) are in excess of 106 million. Wow!
The Hungersite has partnered with some retail websites to further increase their humanitarian effort. For each dollar you spend, one cup of food will be donated to the United Nations World Food Programme. You can also purchase a t-shirt with the Hungersite logo on it and another 25 cups of grain will be given to help lessen hunger.
You CAN make a difference. This is a great way to teach your child a lesson in compassion. You can even make this your homepage. Until next time.
