Feed the starving for free

http://Www.thehungersite.com


Www.thehungersite.com is a very special website. Its homepage is a map of the world. Every 3.6 seconds one of the countries on that map flashes black signifying a death due to hunger. Try watching for a while – it doesn’t stop flashing – the death spreads around the world as you watch from your hi-tech seat, a sobering thought.



The site isn’t just there to shock, slap bang in the middle is a button saying ‘give free food – click here’, do this and a cup of a staple foodstuff is provided for someone who’s hungry - wheat, rice, maize or whatever is most appropriate. It’s not you who pays but the site’s sponsors, after you’ve clicked the button their names are prominently displayed, the more sponsors the more is donated per click (you may only click once a day though).

Most things that seem to good to be true on the web – are. However this site checks out, it’s legit, it really does distribute the food. The sponsors receive a prime showcase on a very popular worldwide site, their adverts are small but very prominently featured, but the greatest factor is whereas normal internet ads attract roughly one in two hundred people clicking on them, one in fifty people click thehungersite’s ads. It's a very clever scheme and over 9,500 tonnes of food has been donated over a year, feeding a quarter of a million starving people.

BTTT

Please go to this site and click once a day. It won't cost you anything - the sponsors pay for all the food that is given to help starving children.

Thanks!
