Its Blog Action Day folks – the second one in fact. 365 days back, the first Blog Action Day theme was the Environment and this year, its Poverty. This is your day to make a difference – your day to make a mark in the society that you live in. Lets change the “What can one person do?” attitude to “Every bit counts!”.
As part of my “bit”, as mentioned in one of my previous posts on poverty, I continue to support Bhookh.com in their endeavour to provide one cup of staple food to chronically hungry people. Their means of achieving the cause in itself is very commendable – from their FAQ,
What happens when I click on the “Give Free Food” button? Does it cost me anything?Two things happen when you click on the button:
1) your click is registered with our computer server and is added to the daily results,
2) it moves you to the ‘Thank You’ page where tiles bearing the names of that day’s site sponsors are displayed. There is absolutely no charge to you; the food is fully paid for by the sponsors.How does the site work? Who pays for the food?
The site’s sponsors pay for your daily click. The sponsors purchase tiles on the website for a certain amount of time. Bhookh.com then tabulates the number of people who click during that time frame and bill the sponsor for the appropriate amount.
In a nutshell, all you need to do to contribute and do your bit is to go to Bhookh.com and click on the big green button and unknown to you, a hungry stomach is being filled and you are being silently thanked for it. If you’ve read this post till this point, it means that you care, and the least you can do is to click through to Bhookh.com and make a difference in somebody’s life. See you at the other end.
