Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.
I've been very blessed to always have some sort of food on our table. I remember in my early parenting years my oldest and I actually ate a box of Stove Top Stuffing for supper because that was all I had. But I had it so I was and am thankful for it. There are so many in the world and even right here in the USA that go to bed hungry every night. They're even down the street and we don't always see them.
I can't change it by myself but there small things I can do...that we all can do to help in someway. It doesn't hurt to buy one extra can of something or one extra box of cereal when we grocery shop and drop off at food bank near by or give to a family you know who's struggling. They aren't always just the poster children you see on tv. I know that when we without no one around me knew that we had bare cabinets.
Another way to help feed the worlds hungry is a website called Freerice.com This organization will donate bowls of rice you earn with word play. Here's what their website says:
About FreeRice
FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme.
FreeRice has two goals:
- Provide education to everyone for free.
- Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.
It's fun and it's for real. I've checked. It also helps build word knowledge. It's one of the ways my Junior in high school is building his vocabulary knowledge for the ACT & ASVAB. So have fun and feed the world.
Ok Now back to your regular scheduled blog (sorry for the rant...I get passionate about things sometimes ha! ha!)
