Um... 10 grains of rice don't amount to much even in the Third World; you'd have to play the game all day to get half a cup! But a single click at http://www.TheHungerSite.com generates over a cup.

You can also generate donations to your favourite charity by doing your Internet searches via http://www.goodsearch.com. Unfortunately, they use the Yahoo! search engine, which isn't as good as Google.
