Strive Goals

Hello Fellow World Changers!

 I am excited to start this new blog as a way to encourage me to find ways to let others know about social issues in our world today.

 Why Strive? 
I chose STRIVE as the title to this blog because it stands for: 

 Solution
Transformation
Revolution
Information
Volition
Education

If you have any ideas for what i should learn about, (right now I am researching hunger) please contact me. Thank you!

It is a fun and educational way to raise awareness for malnutrition and to donate food to malnourished families. For each answer you get right, ten grains of rice are donated throughthe World Food Program to help end hunger. It has a free sign-up and it is really easy to get an account. 1. Got to  ( http://freerice.com)  and click the sign up button. 2. After filling in the needed information (you will need an email address) press REGISTER. 3. When you have created your account, you can go to the subjects button at the top of the page to view the subjects that you can do. Once you pick a subject, you will be asked to answer a question on the screen. If you answer a question correctly you will see your bowl of rice filling up on the side of your screen. 4. Join my group, The Strive Blog , to collect points together! Happy clicking!
