Take Action Round Up: November 4

What you can do this week to end poverty...drum roll please....
  • VOTE!!!

  • I'm going to say this once again, because it's so easy and so cool! If you register at GoodShop.com , a percentage of any purchase you make from participating businesses (like amazon and ebay and travelocity!) will go to the non-profit of your choice! The same goes for GoodSearch.com ; if you use their search engine to search for anything, GoodSearch will donate to the cause of your choice!

  • Test your IQ while donating rice to the UN World Food Program! While you play a vocabulary (or georgraphy, or art recognition, or ect.) game on the Free Rice website, the money generated from the sponsors' ads goes to buying staple foods for millions of hungry people worldwide. According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die each day from hunger or hunger-related causes, most of them children. In countries where rice is a staple part of the diet, the WFP provides about 400 grams of rice per person, per day. That is intended for two meals that include other ingredients to ensure a minimum of 2,100 kilocalories per day.
