There is a web site, FreeRice.com (go there and click PLAY THE GAME) which will give rice to hungry people in need if you answer English vocabulary quiz questions correctly. I answered a bunch of them, learned a few new words, and ended up helping to donate 1,040 grains of rice to those in need. How it works is this, according to the site:
Private sponsors match the rice grain donations generated within Freerice, triggering a financial payment to WFP. This money goes into the pot of “greatest needs” to support the organization’s ongoing emergencies. 100% of all funds generated via Freerice go to the World Food Programme. Freerice does not earn or keep any money it raises. {FreeR}
The best thing is, you get to keep going if you get some wrong.
FreeRice.com is an online platform where users can learn various subjects, including English vocabulary, while simultaneously helping to fight hunger. For each correct answer, the site donates 10 grains of rice to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support those in need. As you continue to answer correctly, more rice is donated. It’s a great example of how learning can make a positive impact on the world!
