Free Rice!


Not for you-people who need it! Here's the deal: you answer questions (vocab) and each answer you get right, you donate 10 grains of rice! I was passed along this site my the little bowl of rice in my life, my friend Cassidy (her blog: Noodles and Spice).

So, about this site:
FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Program. Our partner is the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

FreeRice has two goals:
Provide education to everyone for free.
Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you.

As of today,March 24th there has been 53,028,240 grains of rice donated yesterday. To date? Over 76 billion grains donated.

Amazeballs.

Seriously it works. If you're uncertain or have never seen any of these donating sites before, check out their FAQ to learn more- it's really neat! Help yourself, help others! Your brain=better their bellies-fuller!!

Thanks Cassidy for passing this along!! :)
