Improve your vocabulary, feed the poor

My wife showed me the coolest site a few days ago.

It’s called Free Rice, and it is a humanitarian website that helps your brain as you give to the less-fortunate. Visit the site and you are given random vocabulary questions – some of the words are difficult, some not so much. Each time you get a question right, 20 grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Program to help world hunger. I think it’s a wonderful idea.

I am big on grammar (maybe annoyingly so sometimes), so naturally this site would appeal to me. But even so, it’s beneficial for anyone to play, because correct grammar and food are two things there are a shortage of in the world. Especially food in some parts of the world – that is the most important part of the site after all.

If you’ve never done so before, you really should go and play for a while. You’ll be giving good service and it’s fun.
