Christmas is the time of year when we think of others. Always, it seems, we think of our family and friends and what we could give them for Christmas. Often, we are more open to helping various charitable endeavors. Charitable groups know this and flood our mail boxes with pleas for help during this season of peace and good will to all people.
Let me suggest two ways that you could do good this year with very little effort or cost. Check out http://freerice.com and www.thehungersite.com.
Free rice presents a challenging word game. With each word for which you select the correct definition, the various advertisers will donate 20 grains of rice to those in hunger.
The hunger site is the first of a series of cause oriented sites that: provide food for the hungry, help pay for mammograms for women in need, help fund health care for children in need, help provide books to children, help protect the rain forest, and give food to pets in animal shelters.
Neither site requires much time. Neither site makes any demands of you beyond visiting and clicking. How much easier could it be?
Both sites can become a way for you to give at Christmas and beyond.

I love freerice.com! My students were just on it the other day when they finished their final exam in my J1 class. I need to put a link from my blog to it.
