Grains of Rice & Education...
I know a lot of you are interested in world awareness and helping others, so thought I'd post this in case anyone is interested.
My 5th grader came home from school today and said part of her homework was to go out to the FreeRice site and practice her grammar. For every correct answer, the site donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. They have various subjects for kids to review and my dd at least had a fun time with it, along with feeling like she was contributing to others.

Thanks crick for the link. I'm going to give it to the English teacher at work. Our kids could stand to know there are people worse off than them out there.

I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling. 6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY.
