    This article is about how the homeless are sheltered. It is the website of an organization that oporates an emergency shelter. I was happy to see how much came with the shelter and that people weren't just thrown into an empty space.

    I agree with Miranda, i was happy to see that the people got housing and were not all thrown into one room with a bunch of other people, and some blankets. That would make me feel really appreciated.

    Many mayors have 10-year plans to end homelessness and had reported progress until this year. The most recent official count, in January 2007, found 671,888 people living on U.S. streets or in shelters, down 12% from January 2005.

    Basicly if you get questions right it donates 10 grains of rice to needy countries for every question you answer right. I thought it was a really good idea. I wonder who came up with it.

    Wow. This is awesome! Just by taking a quiz I am helping the world. I think this is a great idea.

    i think its really cool how people come up with ideas like quizes because it allows people to have fun and still give back. you might think that a couple grains of rice is nothing but to some people, that could be a lot of food.

    Whoever thought of this is a genius. It's great to know that I am helping people in need, and it's really fun too!

    I've used this site many times before. It's cool because they have rice to donate, but you can help by answering simple questions. I see a lot of people in class doing it, and it's cool that we're all donating rice!!! :)
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    that's really cool that they're donating rice for really easy questions.

    I have done this before. I think it's pretty amazing how much people can donate just by playing this game. This helps people in poverty so even though it's not an article, this helps so many people. :)
  • Bolon T on 13 Jan 11
     
    This is a really cool website and i loved how while learning stuff you get to help people in need.

    I agree with everyone. Ive done this before and I think its really cool how you can help people by answering questions. It is also fun and you are helping make a difference.
  • Phillips L on 13 Jan 11
     
    Wow, this makes me want to keep playing. This is a genius idea, and it makes a big impact. Imagine if this website was broadcasted over the news, so many people would feel obligated to donate.

    I like this article because i think it's cool how you can donate rice that's really interesting
  • Strauss V on 13 Jan 11
     
    just think of all the people we can help if everyone donates and takes the quiz. We can help make an effort to make a difference to people in poverty. They should have more websites like this. Something for like homeless people. Everytime you answer something, something can be donated to a homelss shelter or something. I dont know, sounds good to me.
  • Kelly S on 13 Jan 11
     
    Its so nice that you can take a quiz and donate rice at the same time.
  • Borror D on 13 Jan 11
     
    I don't get how I donate rice by taking a quiz... But alright...
  • Costello R on 13 Jan 11
     
    This is a very very fun game, i got to donate over 500 grains of rice :)
  • Korn A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I donated over 520 grains of rice. The only one I missed was obligatory what does that mean?
  • Bloom A on 14 Jan 11
     
    thats a really cool website. Imagine if everyone did it just a couple times a week it could really help countries that are really struggeling with poverty.
  • Goldblum J on 14 Jan 11
     
    I really like this website, how you can donate grains of rice for answering questions. It's like a two way street. People in poverty get rice while we get to learn. I just wish they had some harder questions. These are too easy for me. but i did donate 530 grains of rice!
  • Anders P on 14 Jan 11
     
    That's a good way to help. It's entertaining for the viewer/player as well as helpful. Navigating the site you're bound to learn more about the hungry and poor.
  • Sawyer T on 14 Jan 11
     
    Wow this was really a good idea! i donated 720 grain of rice :) This was really fun and however thought of this idea, it was a really good one! Godd article Marlee!

    i like the quiz, but i don't know if they actually donating rice. if they do donate rice i think it is a smart idea, but if they don't donate rice, then what is the point?
  • Matson K on 14 Jan 11
     
    This website is sweet! I think this was a really cool way to start fighting poverty while learning new things. It does go slowly but i will definatly do this again sometime.
  • Roesch D on 14 Jan 11
     
    This is awesome. I'm enjoying helping people by just answering questions. I hope that is true that they will donate the rice.
  • Brown A on 14 Jan 11
     
    I took the quiz and donated 1000 grains of rice LITERALLY. That is also a great way to fight poverty and it is a awesome idea. But they should have more publicity to get to millions more people.
  • Stonerook J on 14 Jan 11
     
    I donated 500 grains of rice by answer 50 questions in a row. This is a great idea, because it gives people a game that teaches them, and they're also helping to feed the less fourtunate! I wonder what other ideas we could spin off of this?
  • Pavlechko M on 14 Jan 11
     
    Duuuddeee! We should totally try to like tell the seventh graders about this and like make them take it! We could have like a day of like donating rice (:
  • Pawluk M on 14 Jan 11
     
    This is a great website to do something simple to help out families in need. Even though it's only 10 grains of rice per question that can add up very quickly.
