Freerice for everyone!

During enjoying cookies and tea parties, wrapping presents and having fun in the snow we shouldn't be forgetting about those who don't have these luxuries like we do. There are billions of people all over the world that don't even have enough food to keeping them alive. So, why not take a few minutes each day to help feeding those hungry mouths at freerice.com.

I'm not talking about spending money on food or anything like that, but only a few minutes a day will give a child a decent meal somewhere. Freerice is a website where, by answering questions people can earn grains of rice that will be distributed to people in Asia, Africa and Central- & South America.

It only takes about 7000 grains of rice for one decent meal, that's about 700 questions. I know, that seems a lot, but believe me, the questions are quite easy and not very complicated, so you can earn a lot of rice in quite a short time.

At first I didn't understand how this could work as you don't donate money or food, but I found out that the rice is funded by the money raised by the advertisements under the question box.

Sometimes it only takes a small thing for one person that'll make a huge difference if a lot of people work together. Even if you don't have time to raise a whole meal a day, it'll make a difference nonetheless.
In light of this I really hope you'll take a little of your precious time and spend it on this wonderful project.

Xoxo, have fun helping other people!
