Free Rice

**timiscute** · 11-14-2007, 11:26 PM

Hey everyone. I just found this website on another forum and I thought there would be a few people on this forum that would find interest in something like this. Its called freerice dot com and it pretty much just gives you a word and 4 options and click the option that best defines the word. Every word you get right the site donates 10 grains of rice. 10 grains doesn't seem like much but what do you expect for just sitting on your ass clicking on words. And if you get enough right and enough people find this page it could really make a difference and fill some hungry bellys so chickity check it out if you all get a chance.

Who gets the rice?

The website doesn't specifically say who gets the rice in the end but heres something I found that may help

In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. We encourage you to visit the United Nations World Food Program to learn more about their successful approach to ending hunger.

So I guess the answer would be hungry people within the 75 countries that the world food program deals with.

I thought I'd give this a bump.

I was looking up the price of rice for whatever reason at 6:30am this morning and ran across this website. I thought I had seen it at MJ.com, and ran a quick search... sure enough,

http://www.freerice.com/

I went as far as I could before getting something wrong and got to 35 before I got one wrong... Kind of fun, I'll come back often to learn new words and maybe feed someone too.
