Sammy replied to Mimi's discussion Freerice.com"I saw this site a looooong time ago. Thanks for bringing it back up! I downloaded the toolbar and played the cool games (geography, vocabulary, grammar) and I donated 60,000 grains today. That equates to over 2 lbs of rice! Very cool."

I must admit that I didn't even think about my commitment to the daily gift challenge today and for the past 2 hours have been trying to figure out what I can give without leaving the house (it's past 11pm now). I saw a post here about freerice.com and decided to see if I can contribute using that site.
