Note to students:
Click
is what you do with your computer's mouse. It's how you make your computer do things.Click on the file to open it.
Click
also means "to be successful."That game really clicked with the students.
This web page is about both. You can be successful in doing some good things, just by clicking your mouse.
The hungersite helps to feed poor people around the world. How does it work? Click on the "Donate Free Food' button. You will then see some small boxes with advertisements. Those sponsors pay for your contribution. The money goes to the United Nations World Food Program.
To visit the hungersite, click on the hungersite button.
After you donate food, come back to this page by clicking the BACK button on your browser (top, left corner)
Everyone knows that saving the earth is important. Did you know that by clicking on a web page, you can help save the rainforest? Go to the rainforest site. Take time to look at the map. It shows how much of the rainforest is being cut down. Then click on the "Donate Land" button
Each time you click on the button, you save a piece of rainforest.
Another site that helps save the rainforest is care2.com. They have a program called Race for the rainforest. To visit them, click here.
The above sites are free. You can visit them one time a day. You might want to add it to your computers list of bookmarks and favorites.
Many people enjoy shopping on the Internet. Some e-merchants (stores on the Internet) will give 5-10% of the money you spend to charity. And you can choose the charity. It can be anything from the Red Cross or World Wildlife Fund to the BluesFoundation.
To do this, go to GreaterGood.com. You'll need to register, tell them your email address and tell them the charity you want the money to go to. Then choose the store you want to shop at. Many famous stores like Amazon.com, LLBean, the gap and Starbucks coffee are part of the program.
After you buy something on the web, that company will send you a receipt by email. Greatergood.com will send you an email telling what to do. All you have to do is email a copy of your receipt to them.
There's so much good you can do. Just take the time to do it.
Enjoy the Internet.
And enjoy good things you can do with a click!
