---|---|---|---|---|
Please guys i came across this and its quite a nice little website, it helps give food out to those that are without every day of the year. Its something we take so much for granted sat here behind our computers. A click a day is so easy for us to do between ticks, do it while your voting for VU ;) set it as your home page, bookmark or whatever. Tonight,
literally millions of children will go to bed hungry, and because
America are drowning in food most of us can afford, we never even think
about hunger. Six million children under the age of 5 die every year as a result of hunger. One third of the world lives on less than a dollar a day. Did you ever think that you could actually help save lives by clicking your mouse? you dont even have to donate anything! http://www.thehungersite.c just copy and paste that into your URL and click the yellow button. You can click every day, and everytime you do, sponsors donate 1.1 cups of food to malnourished children in underdeveloped countries. the site also offers products you can buy, and a place you can donate money, but all i ask is that you take 2 seconds out of your day just to click a button, you dont even have to fill in any information or anything. invite others if you can! lets start saving lives :) | ||||
Why do sponsors have to give as someone click? | ||||
i think its about web traffic. If many people visits that web sites, many companies will advertise there. Therefore they earn money which they can donate | ||||
thank you god bless you | ||||
yes, ez, i have been a daily clicker on that site for about two years now. its great! and important thing to note is that there are 6 categories. u can help fight hunger, yes, but u can also give free mammograms, help children read, save the rainforest, save animals, and heal children as well! set it as ur homepage and click each day! its a great way to help make this world a better place! woo hoo!
| ||||
going to that site used to give you a bonus in Utopia:P
loads of years ago, hehe | ||||
hehe did it? cant remember going to this one while playing utopia. | ||||
Put it as my startpage, picked the animal thing, the food thing is probably a way to subsidise american farmers thats accually hurtfull to the third world. | ||||
lol ghouma, get real. there are 6 sites, all of which are to help the world as a better place. vote on all 6 of them! | ||||
Its a known fact that dumping food on the third world market is not helping them, it cruches their farmers and subsidises ours. | ||||
It says the site was founded in 1999. You seriously think that for 8 years that site has been making starving people in third world countries worse off by giving them food? Riiiight.... | ||||
How is it relevant when they started when I just found it. And yes third world countries are worse off when first world countries dump their food supply on them. | ||||
Could you give me a bit of proof for that please? If what you're saying really is true then I would stop clicking the food thing.....but I think you're mistaken on this one. That site provides food to give to starving people, that food saves them from starving. It might only be a temporary solution, but it's still a solution. | ||||
Cool! | ||||
Why dont u look it up on google or something, they started talking about it on the news years ago.. | ||||
Here's another website (copy it into your URL) All you have to do is answer vocabulary questions (all in english) | ||||
I've donated my 300 grains so far. It doesn't seem like much, but in like less than 1 month , they have donated over 14 BILLION grains of rice, thats alot, and it's people like me doing just a little bit here and there that make that 14 billion possible, you should do it to. | ||||
FREERICE!! I love that site! | ||||
How about linking this Site with a Voting Bonus Turn

"It says the site was founded in 1999. You seriously think that for 8 years that site has been making starving people in third world countries worse off by giving them food?" Well im srry to tell you but giveing these ppl food is not what we need to be doing. We need to give the farmers fertilizer so thay can crow their own food. If you look at african soil its badly over farmed. a perfect example of what giveing fertilizer is Malawi. a short 10 years ago thay were reliant on forgen food now thay are exporting something like 100 mill worth of grain to her neighborging conrtys. | ||||
romus you are right, but if that is not happening it is worth clicking so that they get food, even if they are not growing it themselves. I saw this thread and now click for each of the different oes each day, going along the top clicking for them all. its a great site. | ||||
I clicked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||||
A nice site... I clicked as well | ||||
i clicked hunger 5 times, and then i noticed the other stuff! | ||||
You have now donated | ||||
You have now donated | ||||
I love people | ||||
nice site and yes i clicked | ||||
i clicked!! | ||||
Please try again. Your donation I found another site like this: Here You can get an account and keep track of how much stuff you saved! | ||||
I found out how much rice is in a cup, its about 7,200 grains! ( Found It Here) | ||||
so the other site is far more generous..? | ||||
I wonder who sat there and counted all the grains in a cup... roxbury i nominate you!! | ||||
Oh yeah: | ||||

The more we give to them and not just food, the more they can develope in the future, until eventually theyll be able to handle themselves. If we were to stop helping these countries, they would most likely fall into even worse conditions. | ||||
I just clicked the link and all the other stuff on the page each 10 times! | ||||
'I just clicked the link and all the other stuff on the page each 10 times!' | ||||
i | ||||
Am i a bad person to say that i dont give a *beep* about starving people? | ||||
Just click the damn link! And sort of. | ||||
I just posted it on myspace as a bulliten, so hopefully people will send it around a bit | ||||
Is it nothing for getting donations to the world? | ||||
I just clicked on it, proves I have a heart somewhere! :-) | ||||
I clicked 5 times since this topic started already, I feel so good :) | ||||
I understand your point for wanting to help starving peoples but really we must look at an even bigger picture.... what I am about to say may seem cruel but its the facts we have to face..... | ||||
This hopefully won't happen in my lifetime -_- while this is also a selfish look at it, hopefully we will colonize Mars by the time overpopulation starts really getting bad. Until then, we might as well feed and cure as many as we can so we DONT all burn in hell ^_^ (Or just live crappy lives that helped no one if you dont believe in religion) | ||||
that's assuming that we have ever landed on the moon and such like because we don't actually have [proof] | ||||
You have given the value of 1.1 cups of food to the hungry. Wow i must be psychic to make 1.1 cups of food suddenly pop up out of nowhere | ||||
In value lol | ||||
I expended some time clicking the links, is better than doing nothing. An the rice site is awesome,i learned something in the time i was clicking there. XD. | ||||
