Social Action thru your Internet Connection

You can help end proverty anywhere you are connected to the Internet. All you have to do it visit FreeRice web site at http://www.freerice.com/ and play the vocabulary game. For each word that you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program.

The organization has two goals:
  • Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
  • Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

How are they doing it? Sponsors advertise on their site and pay for free rice for people who are hungry. They believe that improving your vocabulary can improve your life. Try it! It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive.

By playing, somewhere in the world, there is a person eating rice thanks to you.
