you cant survive from just eating rice why don’t they donate something that has some nutrition?
Where’s? the site: freethreecoursemeal . com?
So do they actually count out the specific number of rice grains or what?
Its not that easy to give exactly 4,450 grains of rice on the dot 😛
Still though, great concept! I love it? ^^
Only way to solve these problems is to SHARE by sharing we create justice and therefore Peace.?
to send food to a population which has become too large for its landbase to support INSURES that there will be More starving people the following year.
perpetuating famine, rather than addressing the problem, seems? more like a “bad karma-builder” than doing absolutely nothing. (to me, anyway)
I read about it in a book when was at English school..I thought it just an unreal story for a book but now I am? starting playing this game..Needless to say it was a good idea of whoever made this site
Yes but if you are starving now! a shovel will not feed you,? so to me it’s bad karma not to act and share the resourses which belong to everyone,
Share and Save the World.. says Maitreya
@ninjaninja246? yeah
@sunnillal yeah he should do it?
this is soooo much more important. maybe justin bieber should sponsor free frice, then a million teenage girls will support it ;)? “HI IM JUSTIN BIEBER AND I LIKE VOCABULARY AND SAVING THE WORLD!”
done.
Join our group on freerice: ‘Un sac de? riz pour la somalie’. 380 000 grains already collected during last 3 weeks, everybody’s welcome.?
Get off of Youtube and get your butts? on Freerice!
Im hispanic i eat 44560800 grains of rice? a day
Join my group, Owned. I’ve donated 151,940? grains of rice ALONE. Owned.
Only takes? a few minutes to earn 2500 grains of rice (enough to give a serving I figure). Who knows maybe in will help you spell a word correctly just when you need to.
I play on this all the time – doing it now.?
