The Hunger Site

[StuartW]

As we rapidly approach Christmas, we should think of those less fortunate than us. This site is simple, but brilliant. All you do is go to http://www.thehungersite.com and click on the large yellow button. The site sponsors will then donate food to those in the third world that are starving - and it will only cost you a few minutes of your time. On the second page, you will be told how much food you have donated, and you will also see the banners for the sponsors, who hope you will click on them (of course you don't have too). You are limited to one 'donation' a day.

Did you visit all the other sites on the page.

I just gave rice, land for rainforest preservation, vitamin A, care for kids with AIDS, helped clear land mines and helped with breast cancer detection for underpriveleged women.

not bad for 5 minutes work.

I am there and to all those sites daily. A painless few minutes of anyone's time. :) I also hit Whitly.com (http://www.whitly.com) to donate to mistreated, abused and abandoned animals.

Everyone here on PCM so pay it a vist help out.

Does it still work if I go back and click on the button again ?

[PeteS99]

They supposedly work just once a day (I assume they log your IP).

Maybe we should petition the administrator (M.A.Dockter) to include a small link on the forum as a permanent fixture. A small banner add for charity will remind those of us who don,t remember to *give* each time we visit the forums.

When I 'give' my daily donation, I now click on the sponsors.Living in England I am unable to take advantage of much that the sponsors offer, but hope that by increasing the 'traffic' to their sites, they will continue to support this project.In an increasingly material world, any company that donates part of its income to the less fortunate parts of the world deserve all the support we can give them.
