My tech class just looked at the site and I donated 300 grains of rice to the needy. In the video I learned that the Free Rice foundation has donated 60 billion grains of rice, thats enough to feed 3 million people a day. The site was very impressive, it shows how much time and effort the people who started this great idea put into this wonderful site. After watching the video and playing the game it shows how many people really need help and you feel sorry but it is great to know that you can help. —Jordan, 8th Grade

- 24. http://www.ifitweremyhome.com/ If It Were My Home My "child" was born in Tanzania. Tanzania and the United States are so different, in Tanzania there is a 12% chance a baby might live past five years old. There is child labor, illiteracy, corporal punishment, child marriage, and many other issues. I had the opportunity to spin that wheel many times, but the children I drew would only have one. I can't even begin to fathom life in Tanzania. I have a life of great ease, and most of the children born, won't live past five years old. —Alyssa Led to: Inquiry, Research, Gathering Data, Geographic Skills

One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." "Two Wolves" - A Cherokee Legend
