5 MINUTES OF CARING

Like Words for Rice

Play a game and feed people.

Today, by spending 5 minutes improving your vocabulary, you'll be feeding people at the same time. Thanks to generous site sponsors, FreeRice offers you a chance to donate grains of rice to be distributed via the UN Food Program. It's easy: a word pops up on the screen, and you have to pick its meaning from a list of multiple choice options. For each correct answer, ten grains of rice go to feed the hungry around the world. After 5 minutes is up, you'll have fed lots of people and maybe even learned a word or two (or fifty).

This is a fun thing to do at work or at home, and once you start collecting rice -you will want to get more and more bowls of it.

My partner turned me on to this site a few weeks ago--it's addictive. I in turn sent the link to my coworkers. What a fun way to help out people in need.

Dude this site is awesome. It's amazing to see how a simple game like this could get so addicting. And when you realize all the good you are doing, it only makes you want to play it more!

I was addicted to this site right away. But my mother was right. I should have learned latin. Fun
