Welcome all! To the FreeRice (III) Thanksgiving Donation Challenge!

It seems like it is time to start a new Freerice thread. Can we donate as many grains as the last thread (Where we pulled together to donate 2,748,460 grains of rice!), even though Freerice has reduced the donation rate back to 10 grains per correct answer?

So let's put a goal up at a 1,000,000 grains. To start us of, I have donated 1000 grains to the total.

This challenge, like all the other challenges so far, will last for 2 weeks. Starting at 18:10 26 November 2009 and ending at 18:10 10 December 2009. All times are expressed in New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+1300)

A link to FreeRice is here. The above and below images are also linked directly to FreeRice, clicking on the images or the link preceding will take you directly to the FreeRice website.

And remember, you don't have to donate in English. There are many other languages and non-language options available.
--------------------------------
As per the last thread, there will be 5 stars available and up for grabs, here they are:
- Platinum Contributor. 500,000 grains.
- Diamond Contributor. 250,000 grains.
- Gold Contributor. 100,000 grains.
- Enhanced Contributor. 50,000 grains.

- Contributor of the day. Awarded to the most deserving.

Can someone here donate 500,000 grains?
--------------------------------
This thread replaces:
FreeRice (I) Donation Challenge - 1,207,980 grains donated.
FreeRice (II) New Year's Donation Challenge - 2,748,560 grains donated.
--------------------------------
FreeRice & Thread rules:
Every contributor must obey the FreeRice website rules.
No Ricebots (automated donation scripts) are allowed.
No cheating is allowed.
All posts must be on topic to the subject of FreeRice.
Please only post the amount of grains earned in a single session (i.e. Don't post your running tally).
--------------------------------
I hope to see every single person that views this thread donate. Please... remember the fact that the total amount of money needed to stop world poverty is estimated at US$200,000,000,000 a year. Donating rice is free...

Kind regards & thank you to all contributors that will be,
Luke.

Hi All. Thanks for your donated grains! 500 more from me. Please note this rule, as it just makes it harder for me to count up for statistics:

Please only post the amount of grains earned in a single session (i.e. Don't post your running tally).

Thank you.
- Luke.

You have now donated 420 grains of rice. Fun to do.

I tried the toolbar but it said "0 Total grains today" and "No Rewards Until Tomorrow" shortly after I installed it, so I think I will forget about that, particularly since it can't use Google.
