Just one click

Filed under: Aid — oldcynic @ 3:50 pm

Like many people over the years, I have felt I was doing my bit - visiting sites such as hungersite and other “click to give” charity donation sites. I don’t know how beneficial they really are, but they appease the conscience a little: even a mouseclick can help.

And now you can see how much you are giving, whilst you procrastinate the hours away. Visit Freerice and join in the wordplay - every correct answer donates 10 grains of rice. How much can you give in 5 minutes?

While you’re there, check out the FAQ pages (a redirect to Poverty.com,) see how much cash aid is being donated by the richer countries, watch the counter as the deaths mount from hunger and preventible disease, then go back and click some more!
