Helpers Helping the Hungry!

Today,
Before I went to dinner which is like after I finish this blog, hahaha, I donated 4,130 grains of rice on FreeRice
They added some subjects - English vocab and grammar are still there but now, there is chemical signs (basic and full) math (basic and advanced) and learning Italian (which I was doing), German, Spanish, or French! Plus geography and famous paintings!
Its quite interesting - so go learn something and help those less fortunate than we are! :)

xoxo,
you know you love helping people,

p.s. I personally love my alliteration!
