I recently came across this site, FreeRice.com, which I thought it is very nice and creative. It is nice because you can learn vocabulary and help the world hunger. The idea is very creative. This is how it works: you go to FreeRice.com and play their vocabulary game, for each question answered correctly 10 grains of rice will be donated by the sponsors to help people living in poverty. It is a win-win situation – you get to play the game, FreeRice get the traffics, advertisers get their exposure, and people get the free rice. If you like the idea, please help to spread out the word. For more details, please read their FAQ page.

    HELLO

    It’s nice to help donate the rice I do it all the time but i’m not sure if im sending it or not? Do you just exit out of the website and its already sent? Is there some button you press to send the rice or it just sends 10 grains all the time?

    • Mar 08, 2010 9:43 am

      dalton price

      yeah your right but it is hard for most to do so and also hello i am 12

    • Mar 08, 2010 9:45 am

      dalton price

      no you get 10 grains for the opposite answer
