FREERICE UPDATEThe totals of the last three months for
FreeRice:
JANUARY 2009 2,416,239,520
FEBRUARY 2009 1,663,509,530
MARCH 2009 1,830,287,650
APRIL 2009 1,478,963,720
MAY 2009: 1,403,545,670
JUNE 2009 929,906,500
JULY 2009 652,730,310
AUGUST 2009 787,320,460
SEPTEMBER 2009 1,310,200,000
OCTOBER 2009 1,611,699,490
It's been about a year since the totals started to slip, if my memory serves me correctly. They went downwards like this last summer, but the totals this year are worse. Even if the months are starting to get better after July, it needs more views than before. If you want to spread awareness of this site, one way of doing so is putting the FreeRice stamp on your Journals.

If you don't have a prescription, this can work, too.


Another way is to spread the word of the site and how it works on your Journals and all over the Internet and your community.
For those who don't know what FreeRice is, I'll gladly explain:
As the site provides English vocabulary to everyone for free, it at the same time provides rice to hungry people around the world, also for free. The catch? You'll only have to answer multiple-choice vocabulary questions. Every one you get right, 10 grains of rice will be donated to the United Nations World Food Program. It's very surprisingly that simple.
Since we're all in a global recession or at least trying to recover from it, this site needs a LOT of visitors this year, even more than last year's.

We dont wish for the easy stuff; We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach.
We wish because we need help and were scared and we know we may be asking too much.
We still wish, though, because sometime they come true.
