Online Petitions and Click-to-Donate sites?

I am still not sure how the latter work, but it seems like a good idea for a A&R suggestion. Does anyone know some good links to this kind of sites?

Ah great links Meenakshi, that's one of the sites I had in mind actually. I still don't get how they work. Does each click really donate 5+ dollars for a book? If so then it's definitely on the A&R list!

Zet, so far I have been clicking whenever I could, based on trust and a feeling that it couldn't be doing any harm. I suspect most of us are doing the same, and also seeing it spread by people we trust.

However, you have inspired me to action. I checked through my usual site for checking internet offers and chain letters: www.snopes.com

This is what comes up re Free Rice and the Hunger Site: it's True.
We can't copy and paste as they don't want us to [though of course, I could but I'm trying to do unto them as we would have them do unto us!]

I couldn't find a reference quickly about the other links; but feel they must be true as well.

Ohhh I loved freerice.org! Picking my brains, that one. Such a great idea. :)

a new era for non profit economic systems

Designed to recover environment AND our HUMAN cultures…   www.natural-villages.org

this is a sample;
 
below is text from a “hidden page” in this new form of online organization that promotes non toxic, affordable housing within food garden communities causing our native americans and others falling through the “cracks” of our cultures…to have a chance at LIFE as WE know it !!!!!!! 

(while causing a development trend, that can save the butts of the mainstreamer s as our world and economy changes)

…so not so much “trauma or suffering” is enacted as we go through the next parts of our destiny::::    the unknown…

To be sustained, is to feel supported. For a community or a person to feel supported,

this is to have a situation that can be truly sustained. When a persons body has food,

this is to have sustenance for the body. If a community produces food for all its members,

this is the group, supporting themselves in having what is required to survive.

This, is support. Sustenance.

Spiritual sustenance is to have a perspective so gentle and warm, so literally filled with the energy of love, that it feeds your heart, which nourishes your spirit. This is sustaining the soul with love. The souls energy shrinks without love, it becomes separated from love, and, due to this pain, it develops a fear of love and so begins to push love away. Finding fault with others hurts the heart because to love is to support warmth, gentleness and reasons to smile. To be spiritually competent, we must learn how to sustain our ability to hold love steadily in our heart so that it can radiate to others all the time. This, is to be in a condition called sacred, or holy. This divine love is clearly our primary human nourishment. Any energy less than this needs to be purified, or cleaned until it feels like love.

The sustenance of love is what causes children to grow. Without it, we have those who hurt others with their criticisms because pain is all they have known, and they have been told this is love. They have been taught to help improve the other, so this must be love. We cannot improve another. We can only improve ourselves. We are born into a condition of perfect love, love, is whole within us at birth and the humans around us are needed to support this love and the existence of it's body, while allowing the mind to learn and grow freely, unhindered by stress or tension. When we receive a reflection from another that we are less than earning the immediate smile of their love, a human becomes confused or hurt regardless of age or gender, unless they are already clear in themselves that love is all they are, and the other must need support to return to smiling love. This is to help sustain the heart of the one you love.

Today our world culture imprisons and tortures the wounded hearts who need love to heal this condition. One day, a more compassionate humanity will emerge, and we will support the tender hearts of each other, our humanity. We will treat each human being with respect, by supporting them with a sustainable lifestyle from the beginning. Village and neighborhood communities do offer this lifestyle, if the humans who are in the community know how to offer pure love to each other in doses large enough to sustain peace within this community. If the humans present, understand how to sustain love, which causes everyone to inherently comprehend all the rest of the aspects of sustainability, then our global humanity could indeed rediscover love as the inner fire of itSelf…

I visit The Rainforest Site which is part of the GreaterGood Network of websites, owned and operated by CharityUSA.com, LLC. The GreaterGood Network is a family of online activism sites helping children, animals, and other causes including hunger, breast cancer, and literacy.  I have found no negative information on this company.  Apparently the sponsors (advertisers) of each mini-site make the contributions based on the clicks per day.  100% of the money donated by these sponsors go to the charities.

I also like the free rice site.  Besides helping people in need, I am improving my vocabulary!
