Make Rice, Not War
How can individual grains of rice help you develop your vocabulary?
How can feeding others make you more articulate and well spoken?
How can you feel better about yourself as early as this weekend, with just a few clicks of your mouse?
FreeRice.com is a sister site of world poverty site Poverty.com.
When you go there and take their multiple choice vocabulary quiz, every
time you get a correct answer, they donate 20 grains of rice to people
in developing countries.
How do they do this, you ask?
By accepting advertising, which appears at the bottom of each
screen you access, they pay for tons of rice to be delivered each
year.
And you win either way. Your vocabulary becomes stronger and
stronger, making your letters, sales presentations and everyday
conversation a little more colorful, and your heart gets just a little
bigger, knowing you have helped feed hungry people the world over.
Just by playing a game.
