boinky 0 #1 November 20, 2007 This is a great little learning site. And while you learn, supposedly you're helping them donate rice to help the fight to end world hunger. And don't we all want smarter skydivers? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

ifall 0 #2 November 20, 2007 I thought it was too. Saw this last week, someone asked me to find out if it was for real or not (she passes on a lot of those chain letters and what not that I keep telling her are not true). Anyway, looks legit and is a good idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #3 November 20, 2007 I read a bit of the "about us" and a few other things. I couldn't find a catch, persay. And even if it's not really giving any free rice, the vocabulary stuff is GREAT!

boinky 0 #6 November 20, 2007 I don't know about the levels. I played for WAY too long. But it seemed like the levels bounced around. One time I was level 45, then back to 36. I know it claims I donated over 1200 grains of rice. But then the site had some boo-boo. When I tried to refresh the game I was on..it started me back to 0 again. That's okay though. That many more grains of rice donated! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

grannyinthesky 0 #8 November 20, 2007 I figure I may make that site again a few times myself. Thanks for sharing it. PaT"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #9 November 20, 2007 Quote Thanks for sharing it. Just doing my part in edumacating my fellow jumpers. And the fact that we're helping feed hungry folks is an added plus!

grannyinthesky 0 #10 November 20, 2007 Yeah, I like that idea too and I know my hips sure don't need the rice. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We emailed them (actually she did) and asked them about it. I'll have to find out if they got back to her. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #17 March 9, 2008 Here is a site that has been around over ten years: http://www.thehungersite.com One click a day gives a bowl of food. 100% of sponsor money goes to the charity. They have related sites you can also visit, accessible via tabs on the home page and you can click on each once per day: Breast Cancer site gives mammograms Child Healthcare Literacy - pays for books Rainforest - buys habitat for protection Animal Rescue - provides shelter, care, and food Each site has links to learn more about the topics and how to help further.
