Help Save Lives

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.

    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~
