Games that make a difference?

The internet is great for many things, including free games. I remember days long gone of saving up pocket money for weeks just to buy a £9.99 cassette game for my Commodore 64 (Rainbow Islands, Batman the Movie, etc.). Nowadays, of course, you can find all the classics as well as plenty of new game online for free.

Well, I could give you a host of links to some of my favourite "safe" games sites... but today I came across a couple of other sites that really ARE worth sharing. They both entertain and educate, and one even contributes to needy people in the world.

The first game [click here] was created by the UNHCR to help people empathise with refugees. Well produced, a little scary and definitely eye-opening.

The second game [click here] was created in tandem with advertisers to fund contributions that provide rice to hungry people in the world. You improve your vocabulary, and actually feed someone at the same time.

Hannah's Web Album Update

Admittedly we haven't taken many photos recently. Maybe we're too busy, maybe we can hardly catch Hannah standing still long enough... but here are a few shots for your viewing pleasure.

Hannah at 12-15 months

Some are of Hannah smearing her face with rice (her favourite food right now - yes, plain boiled white rice), most are of Hannah roaming around the Bukit Jalil Park.
