Start Earning

Today, I came across a site, quite different than the rest. One thing I can assure you is, your visit to the site can help you and also lakhs of people across the globe. No, it's not the regular 'donate' thingy. It's different.
Imagine a site where all you need to do is play (yes, play) and simultaneously you are helping and earning. There are lakhs of people affected by natural calamities say storm, tsunami, earthquake, floods and plague. Only a few of us can donate a huge amount of money. The rest of us, even though desperate to help, are helpless. So, here's a site for toddlers, teenagers, grownups....everyone!
Free Rice - yes, that's the name. It is one of the most ingenious sites of 2007. It went online on October 7, 2007. All you have to do is to Play and earn Rice. They have got various categories- Art, Chemistry, English, Geography, Languages and Mathematics. You have to play and for each answer you get right, you donate 20 grains of rice. This is conducted by the United Nations World Food Program. Since October, FreeRice has collected around 50,778,212,910 grains of rice. Believe me, it's addictive. You can see the amount of grains of rice I donated on the first day, within a span of 30 minutes. I'm sure you people can exceed that amount.

What do we Earn?
Smiles, a satisfied Tummy and Blessings. What more do we need?

Elizabeth Bibesco once said, "Blessed are those who can give without remembering". Just go for it friends. Visit Freerice.com

Another site Bhookh.com has been suggested by Rushabh, a fellow blogger.
All you need to do is 'Click', ad sponsors pay for the food and the food is distributed by the UN World Food program.
Thanks Rushabh

  4. Farah,

    Thanks buddy. If activist is the word, I'm glad to be called one. But my Intention is never to fall into any category... It's just Humanity.

    Food is an Integral part of life. If we don't get our meals on time, we crib. There are many who go without food for days altogether. Just putting myself in their place gives me a shudder.

    So trying to help in the best possible way and encouraging others too.. zzzimble!
