As it is well known for its innovations  our Facebook has come up with a new way to help Japan...Now every time you buy special crops on Farmville, someone in disaster-hit Japan might get much-needed succor. In a unique initiative, eight online games on Facebook are raising funds for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami-hit island nation.

The initiative is a result of partnership between NGO Save the Children and Zynga, a social network game developer.

Games like Cityville and Farmville are raising funds by offering special crops to its players. The players can pay through credit cards and the entire proceeds would go to the Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children's Emergency Fund.

The NGO is hoping to reach out to maximum number of victims and expecting generous donations from millions of online players via their favourites games like Zynga Poker, Frontierville, Cafe World, Yoville, Z Bar and World With Your Friends.

According to Facebook, around 50 million users are playing Farmville every month, almost 40 are hooked on to Zynga Poker, and nearly 20 million indulge in Frontierville and over 10 million users are playing Cityville every month.

Apart from harvesting crops, one can place Japanese inspired decorations in their cafe or purchase access to a VIP table in Zynga Poker.

These crops don't wither away , they take you a level higher and give you satisfaction of doing something good.

So just get to it, start playing and start helping..

Would you do that??
