Pledge “Giveforfree”
"I will donate 50 000 grains of rice for FREE through Free Rice (freerice.com) but only if 20 other people worldwide will donate 2000 grains each (It's FREE)."
— Andre Livingstone
Deadline to sign up by: 25th December 2008
34 people signed up (14 over target)
More details
It's free to give rice to the poor with Freerice! The money from advertisers gets given through the United Nations World Food Programme.
You donate by playing a game, where you are shown a question with four choice answers. It used to only have English vocabulary, but now the subjects include:
- Famous Paintings
- Chemical Symbols (Basic)
- Chemical Symbols (Full List)
- English Grammar
- English Vocabulary
- Identify Countries on the Map
- World Capitals
- French
- German
- Italian
- Spanish
- Basic Math (Pre-Algebra)
- Multiplication
It will probably only take you about 15 minutes or even less to donate 2000 grains, because for each question you get right, the site gives 20 grains of rice to the poor people who need it most.
Also, for other click to donate websites, visit:
- Poverty Fighters (http://www.povertyfighters.com)
- The Hunger Site (http://www.thehungersite.com)
- Care 2 (http://www.care2.com/click2donate/)
Please take the time to help feed the hungry. It doesn't cost you anything to help the people who will go hungry this Christmas.
UPDATE: For every 20 people that sign up and complete this pledge, I will donate 50 000 grains of rice through Free Rice (up to a maximum of 500 000 as my donation).
