The Nerdiest Way to Help the Hungry!

I have been having a lot of fun playing brain games in order to help help the hungry: Free Rice <--click link. You can change the subject anytime, play as long as you want, and your correct answers donate rice to starving nations! (It is totally free, and checked out on Snopes.com)

My older daughter and I like to play for several minutes each day. She teases me that I know more Spanish than English. Turns out, the old periodic table in my head isn't as rusty as I thought. 6000 grains today :)

Also...
From Genevieve...
You should check out: http://www.freepoverty.com/ also (you donate water by correctly identifying cities around the world). Or http://www.helpthirst.com/ is another great one for water. A very cute site is http://www.freekibble.com/ or http://www.freekibblekat.com/ and those each donate 10 pieces of kibble a day (only one trivia question a day).
