Do you feel at times frustrated and helpless when faced with news item or data about people's suffering - famine, flash floods, child slavery, etc. - and wish you can do something about it?
I often do, and these send me again and again to pray "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven . . . " and in behalf of millions I pray again and again "Give us this day our daily bread . . . ", believing in the earth - heaven connection and the heaven - earth connection. And heaven moved in specific way for me - sending me to The Hunger Site.
The Hunger Site is a showcase of handcrafted products made by people from across the world, particularly from those in need of help; but it is a unique site because of its system of providing opportunity for site visitors to contribute for free a cup of rice everyday by just one click. Advertisers pay for the donated rice which are distributed by reputable charitable organizations. More donations are given when one decide to purchase items being promoted.
Items showcased include jewelry, clothing & accessories, footwear & socks, bags & purses, home & kitchen, gifts & delights, garden, patio & backyard. The Hunger Site is just one of series of click & give, in the site. There are also pages providing help for Breast Cancer, Child Health, Child Literacy, Saving Rain-forest and Animal Rescue each with their additional unique products.
The Hunger Site is a simple yet most ingenuous way to entrain the natural good will of people to help others and to say that it works is an understatement. For the year 2010 the site was able to contribute over 58.6 million cups of rice from the combined clicks (53.8 million) and shopping (4.8 million).
Be part of this great work - which is only the tip of an iceberg. Visit the Hunger Site, bookmark it in your browser and employ the power of networking to share about it to everyone you know.There is hope and means to end world hunger.
