Free rice - it's more than just a meal

I just started playing a new game. It's on www.freerice.com. It's very cool! Here's a bit of adverstisement from their site:

About FreeRice

FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.

FreeRice has two goals:
Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by 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 vocabulary 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.


So for every vocab word you get correct, you donate 10 grains of rice. It's a wonderful site as not only are you doing good for other people, but you also learn. And what's cool is that the site has a way of figuring out where you are in your vocab level so you aren't challenged too greatly, but challenged enough that you'll constantly get to learn new words. I think that's great. I've passed the site on to our college counselors and to the head of our English department. Kids need this!

So - join in and learn...donate your time and earn rice. Activism in this way is awesome!
