WIN/ WIN Situation!

Its the 1st day of April, and Spring is definitely here, whether your excited for your annuals to start showing up in your home garden or your annual allergies!
in the Philippines....its summer time! the past week or so, there have been numerous amounts of graduations and of course graduation parties for families to come together and celebrate a student's milestone.

but even a month ago, not everything was quite so sunny and full of celebration. in the Philippines, especially in the Visayas area, there was nothing but continous rain! "waray bagyo pero duro an uuran!" Everyone of course was affected by the rain: classes were cancelled, roads were blocked, bridges broke off, water was stopped for days, increase risk of illnesses and diseases, evacuations were made, limited amounts of meat/vegetables/goods for food, increase in food prices... and so much more. One cause after another creating a domino effect.
And now after several months of rain, many filipinos are struggling to keep up with the high prices of rice. The Philippines use to be a great supplier to other countries before, but that is no longer possible due to the limited amount of rice to even provide its own citizens.

go and visit the following website!

its completely free for you, and free rice for those people in need!
for each word you get correct, another 20 grains of rice is donated to those countries that take part in the UN World Food Program, and the Philippines is one of those countries!

they gain free rice that helps lessen the hunger and poverty while you gain and enrich your vocabulary.. and all doing it for free!

its definitely a WIN WIN situation!
