Nearly to 1000!!!

Our views are nearly to 1000 and we'd like to celebrate by having a Free-Rice-athon!
http://www.freerice.com/  We're going to play FREE RICE every chance we can on the day our website hits 1000 views.  We want to encourage every homeschool kid to do the same with their family.  This is an educational way to donate rice to the hungry. THEN post back here to let us know how many grains of rice you scored for the hungry! Who can post the most?
 Here's what Snopes.com has to say, if you want to check them out: TRUE  http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/freerice.asp

The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Hunger Program.  Each time you answer a trivia question correctly, 10 grains of rice will be donated.  It's quick and easy to donate a lot of rice by progressing through the levels of each category.
But you don't have to wait for 1000 views!  You can start now if you like.

Another great site to check out is The Hunger Site.  You can actually feed the hungry by clicking on their page.  HOW DOES IT WORK????  The advertisers pay for every person who clicks each day. http://www.thehungersite.com
