Feeding the hungry by playing an online game

I found something yesterday that is amazing!!

How would you like to help feed the world's hungry while playing a game, while learning?

I found a way to have fun, and affect the world at the same time...

www.freerice.com

At FreeRice, you can play a vocabulary game. For each correct answer, 20 grains of rice are donated to the World Food Program. The rice is then distributed to those in need.

This might not sound like a lot of rice. However, the vocabulary game is fun and addictive. Your contributions will quickly add up.

Wondering where FreeRice gets the food to donate? The site is supported by advertisers. The advertising generates money to buy the rice. FreeRice is a non-profit organization. All money from advertising goes to help feed the world. You can learn more by reading the Frequently Asked Questions. www.freerice.com/faq.html

Now, the thing I like most about FreeRice is that it’s a win-win situation. In exchange for helping the hungry, you’re helping yourself. The questions can be quite challenging, so they'll improve your word power!

So, go there, see what level you can get to... I was up to level 40 yesterday, try to beat that!
