You may be aware of The Hunger Site; one click gives 1.1 cups of food -- and there are further worthy course from mammograms to literacy programmes to rainforest protection also.

With thanks to Crikey, I've been made aware of Free Rice, run by the United Nations World Food Program in partnership with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. You answer questions, and for every question you get right 10 grains of rice are donated. 10 grains of rice may not sound like much, but 80 billion grains of rice have been donated already [proving I really am behind...] If vocabulary is not your thing, you can change to other subjects. Well worth a look.
