The following quote is from my friend, Maithri of The Soaring Impulse.
It is a beautiful story of a heroic little Japanese girl.
"In the name of Sadako Sasaki I would like to ask that everyone reading these words change their internet homepage to the following website:
http://www.thehungersite.com/
I am not affiliated with the 'hungersite' in any way, but each time you click, a bowl of rice is given to someone without food. At no charge to you."
Even if you just put the hungersite in your list of favorites and make a point of going there each day, and clicking, you can make such a difference! It's something we can all do without any cost to us which I know is a big consideration during these times when money is so tight, but there is so much good we can do in this world if we are willing to just take a few moments.
I hope you will join me.

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

The Hunger Site is so important!
Great Idea! I will put it o my favorites.
Sylvia;
thank you for pointing out ways that we can make a differenc One bowl of rice at a time. Consider it done
i remember that old saying about that rubber tree plant, but I just changed it a little..."oops there goes another bowl of rice" Cha Ching
I will most certainly click on it every day. No one should go hungry.
Thanks for this, Sylvia!
Sylvia, I just clicked on the Hunger Site and they have a daily reminder. For people like me who suffer from short term memory loss, it's a great reminder to give another bowl of rice.
I go there every morning - it's part of my boot up the computer routine
and it is linked to the animal resuce site and a few others
so simple to do
thanks so much for reminding us
Sylvia, thanks for spreading the word. i have clicked once a day for the hungry and the animals for a couple of years now. They also have nice ecards you can send inviting others to click. I have also purchased from their online store and given the gift of food for the hungry to honor birthdays.
Peace be with you~
