Improve Your Vocabulary & Feed The World


By taking a few minutes to play a word game, you can help donate rice to the United Nations World Food Program.
This website http://www.freerice.com/index.php takes you to the game or click on the Free Rice picture.

For every word that you guess the correct definition, 20 grains of rice are donated.

I played for approximately 10 minutes tonight and donated 3160 grains of rice.

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

FreeRice has two goals.

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

Here are the rice donations to date.

10/07 - 537,163,380
11/07 - 4,768,969,790
12/07 - 6,948,988,060

Take a few moments, go to Free Rice, improve your vocabulary and donate some rice. It's fun and it will make you feel good.
