Just a quick post to give some blog time to 2 fantastic websites that will help your fellow man. (Come on it's Valentine's week... time for a love fest, right?)
1) This one will cost you NO money, but you will help feed starving people.
FreeRice.com
Such a cool idea. You do vocabulary (or math or forgein language) questions and for every answer you get right, 10 grains of rice is donated through the UN Food program. You can easily get a couple hundred grain of rice in 15 or so minutes... and you are smarter for it!
2) This one will cost money... but really worth it!
Kiva.com
It's a a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world.
You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
