An easy way we help people around the world is by playing at www.freerice.com whenever we have free time or need a quick break.  It’s really easy and it really does help others who are less fortunate than us.

Every 100 grains of rice gives a bowl of rice to someone in a developing country who needs it.  Play often, Play with passion, Play on!

Craig Keilburger has inspired millions to take action and do something about the fate of millions of children around the world.  Our class is no different.  We learned about Craig in class and some of the things he’s done.  Free the Children, the organization he helped start, has helped literally millions of kids to break the cycle of poverty, escape forced labour and many other situations we can’t even imagine.  Much of this done through providing children with the opportunity to go to school.  Their motto is “children helping children through education” and as Craig’s story shows us, it starts with just one passionate young person.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Mr. Borges supports Plan Canada.  He has been sponsoring a child from Sri Lanka for the past six years.  They have had the opportunity to write letters to each other and learn lots about what life is like in different parts of the world.

For less than a cup of coffee a day, it’s easy to make a difference in the life of one kid and her village.

In addition, we have also given “gifts of hope” through this organization which have offered the opportunity for individuals and communities to break though the cycle of poverty.
