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 end 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.

Very Nice! They have done a great job and i’ll suggest all of the readers to try the website once. It not only improves your vacabulary but also help the hungry people get food.

Love it! A great way to expand your vocabulary and provide some food for the hungry. Another “why didn’t I think if that” site.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ll also post this on my blog and hopefully it spreads and help those who needs it.

You could just use a dictionary :P I admit I did that the first time I played. Overall I’ve donated about 2500 grains(500ish from the dictionary, lol. but whatever, its to help the hungry!!)
they have a group on facebook for anyone whos interested. They’re trying to develop an application for it.

Thanks for posting this. As for how much “they” are making why it should concern anyone? I know it for a fact that money is donated and people will be fed and to me that is all that matters.
