Dear Everyone, This site is for real. Please pass it on to as many people as you can. It's something really easy that can make a difference. Visit the site and pass the word. http://www.thehungersite.com All you do is click and somewhere in the world some hungry person gets a meal to eat at no cost to you. The food is paid for by corporate sponsors. All you do is go to the site and click where they indicate. But, you're only allowed one click per day so spread the word to others. Trish Gonzalez- Publicity Officer, New Zealand & Latin America Australian Tourist Commission ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Press Reviews: September 17, 1999 . Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) The Net has pushed back many boundaries, including that of human compassion. A web site that allows anyone to donate food to the starving without paying? It sounds too good to be true, but a new US venture, The Hunger Site, has achieved exactly that, channelling the cold, financial logic of online advertising to the warmer, social purposes of charity... Hunger Site users are met by a map of the world. Every 3.6 seconds, a country somewhere flashes black, signifying a death due to hunger. India ... China ... Mozambique ... country after country dims in memoriam Family Circle Magazine (USA, 10/5/99 Issue) Have you ever wanted tohelp those less fortunate but not known where to start? Right now, all you need is a computer connected to the Internet to start helping to save lives. The Hunger Site was founded earlier this year by John Breen to aid in the fight to end hunger. The site generates donations to the United Nations World Food Program, the world's largest food aid organization, working in 80 countries. Here's how it works: Anyone can go to the site once a day and make a free donation... New Statesman (United Kingdom) ... watch the hunger map, which shows a globe on which a country goes briefly dark every 3.6 seconds: it happens every time a person somewhere dies of malnutrition. It?s like watching Death on his tireless rounds, from India to China, then Indonesia, before hurrying across to Africa and South America. . . . a company that advertises there [on the Hunger Site] is actually getting quite good value for its advertising budget by feeding the starving. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hugh Senior The Flexible Learning Company Consultant Programming Voice: +44 (0)1483.27 87 27 Web: www.flexibleLearning.com
