DONATE RICE TO HELP END WORLD HUNGER

I saw on Lisa Takeuchi Cullen , a New York-based staff writer at Time, a game called Free Rice. This web site poses spelling-bee-level vocabulary words and four multiple-choice definitions. For each word you get right the United Nations donate 10 grains of rice to help end world hunger. To play and help click on Free Rice. Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits!

Free Rice is a sister site of the world poverty site Poverty.com. FreeRice has two goals:

1) Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.

2) Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

Today I played again this game and donated 400 grains of rice!
