Aid To Children

I got this link through one of the comments posted on my blog. This site is similar to FreeRice.Com, but instead of donating rice you donate money.

What is AIDtoCHILDREN?

AIDtoCHILDREN was developed based on a desire to help under privileged children in the most impoverished places around the world. The goal of AIDtoChildren.com is simple, bring aid to children in need through learning.

How does the AIDtoCHILDREN vocabulary game work?

AIDtoCHILDREN relies on a database of thousands of questions with a sophisticated word selection process. Words are organized in 5 main levels of difficulty, with each main level having a further 4 subcategories. As you successfully answer the questions you will be able to track your movement on the difficulty scale from the right side menu. With such a wide range of words the game is suitable for all people at any age.

Does all the money generated from the game goes to charity?

YES. From the “see where the money goes” link on the main page you can view our online event with World Vision. At the end of each month we will make a donation to our online event based on the money raised by AIDtoCHILDREN.

Let's all support AIDtoCHILDREN.COM

Personal Search Engine

This is one cool stuff I received from my e-mail. You can make your personalized search engine bearing your name or whatever. It's very simple. Visit this site and key in your desired name or nickname and it will look like this one . It's very much like Google but only with your name on it and you can change the name anytime.

Give A Life

Charitable causes for children are the closest to my heart. I feel very sad everytime I see a street child begging for money in the streets or rummaging a pile of garbage in search of food. This has become a common sight these days. When I was a kid, there were not that many streetchildren roaming around. I feel blessed for not having to experience this painful reality of life, and so I want to be of help to them in my own little way. But there are also a group of children that we tend to neglect because we do not see them around. It is precisely because they are sick and they are poor. Most of the diseases that afflict these kids are treatable if only they have access to proper healthcare and medicines. We can do something. Give A Life is one foundation we can support to help the children especially the sick one.

What is Give A Life Foundation?

Give A Life Foundation is a children's charity for the underprivileged sick and dying in the Philippines. The primary goal is to replace and upgrade the equipment used in the pediatric wards. The foundation has also created a new cost-effective and efficient systems for access to medicines, like antibiotics, cancer drugs, medical supplies, disinfectant, and soap for the very poorest cases.

How can I help the poor children?

You can visit their website here for more information. You can also give your gift or donation by calling (+632) 899-1000. Their office is located at 1191 Vito Cruz Ext., Makati City 1200 Philippines. The Give A Life Foundation ensures that 100% of your donation will go to sick children in the pediatric wards in the Philippines.

The sick and dying children need your urgent help. Please help spread the word about the foundation.

Free Rice!

No, there are no NFA caravans going around to distribute free rice to the masses. I'm talking about a cool website that lets the visitor donate rice everytime he gets the word right. That is right, you and I can do something to fight hunger by visiting FreeRice.com.

What is FreeRice.com?

FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com. The site has two goals namely to provide English vocabulary for free and help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free which is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on the site. If you want to find out more, please visit the FAQ section of FreeRice.

Rice prices are on the rise - globally! If you go around the local markets, you will find out that rice prices have risen to as much as 50%! Oh no, goodbye to commercial rice and hello to NFA rice (or corn?). No more extra rice, too. We all know that many people depend on rice as their staple and if the prices keep going up, the ones who will suffer most are no other than the marginalized and poor among us. To a parent watching his or her child die in their arms from hunger, the rice that we give them is more precious than anything in the world.

We can do something. There is still such a thing as "free lunch" afterall, but only if everyone is willing to care and share. Ask Ms. KC Concepcion (Hi, KC!).

So the $64 question for me is why write about a social issue like this. My $64 dollar answer is that there is a bigger world out there. My struggle is just a piece in a puzzle - a not so tiny one but nevertheless just a single piece. There is so much more I can offer to make the world a better place. Ask Ms. KC Concepcion again. (feeling close?)
