Free Rice

Banko made an attempt to nullify his overwhelming desire to eat. He tried straining his thoughts onto the limitless sky and its vast contents; occupying his thoughts with anything and everything but food.

Ignoring the churning from his stomach, Banko decided to watch a little blue bird flying gracefully above. With a loud chirp, it swooped down with quick speed, aiming for something on the ground below. It pecked with such furiousness that made Banko surprised; and soon after it rose up victoriously with what looked like a huge grub in its beak. Within seconds, the poor insect was swallowed by its prey, leaving the latter much satisfied.

The grumbling in his tummy could not stop; Banko was famished, and he could not take it any longer. Leaping up from where he sat, Banko ran towards the dry lands where he knew there was food.With forceful anticipation, he carefully dug out a crust of the ground with his bony fingers. Slowly, he lifted the sun-baked piece of dirt towards his mouth. As much as he hated its dry mud-like taste, sadly, it was all he had to cease the hunger pangs. The bland loathsome taste lingered on his tongue for what seemed like ages; but being given his unfortunate circumstances, he knew it was only inevitable.

There are many people like Banko out there who are dying of hunger each day. Given the chance, I would donate a huge sum of my million-dollar rolls to feed the poor and hunger-stricken. But sadly, my finite intelect and lack of experience in this world has forestalled my destiny as a billionaire. Only time will tell. Hahahaha

Ok, so I found this really interesting site on the web. Free Rice is the brainchild of John Breen, a self-employed computer programmer from Indiana. Free Rice is an Internet vocab game that is fun and educational and not only improves your word knowledge but serves as a platform to feed the poor as well! With every click of the mouse, you donate 4 grains of rice to the hungry!

Really wan! Because I'm such a passionate angel, I actually make it a point to donate about a thousand grains each day!!! ^^ haha ok la its new to me, so it seems pretty addictive now. But its worth every second on the computer screen.

I beseech thee, click click away!!

My name is Dorian and I'm reaching out to popular blogs. I'm working with a small startup called Avanoo that wants to give bloggers the opportunity to raise awareness and funding for causes that they care about by putting a badge on their blogs that looks like the one below.

We haven't launched yet, but we're reaching out to a few top bloggers, now, to help us test our technology and spread the word. If you can help us to show others how, together, bloggers and web users can raise funds and awareness for good causes by using the power of our voices, I'd be so grateful.

Thanks for your time,
Dorian
