Play to help fight world hunger - no registration - no kidding!


From the World Food Programme web site:

“Clicks on the FreeRice vocabulary game have already translated into WFP food rations for over 20,000 refugees from Myanmar who are sheltering in Bangladesh . Pregnant women in Cambodia, schoolchildren in Uganda and Bhutanese refugees in Nepal are also receiving rice thanks to the award-winning site“.

If you were looking to make a difference today, even a small one, you might want to check out the FreeRice.com web site.

FreeRice is a not for profit site with a very simple but important purpose. By playing the free vocabulary game, where you are given an English word and need to select the correct definition from four different word options, you help fight world hunger - 20 grains of rice at a time.

Think this is silly? Well, besides the benefit of improving your vocabulary, and playing a brain game (words can get challenging at higher levels), with the help of half a million daily visitors, and generous sponsors, the site has donated over 26 billion grains of rice since its inception in October 2007!

Now that’s a lot of rice!

So if you have a few minutes to spare today, why not head over and play the game - I’ve donated 420 grains of rice today - now it’s your turn - no registration is required!

If you have a site or blog, and would like to link to this great program, you can find free banners here.
