Free Rice

Posted on January 15, 2008 Under Life

While there are plenty of worthy charities to give your hard earned dollar to, many people are reluctant to share their monetary wealth simply because they themselves aren't exactly flying high above the poverty line. Fortunately, for those folks, Free Rice doesn't ask for money"¦they merely ask you to use your knowledge of vocabulary to feed the hungry. The sister site of Poverty.com has two goals, to provide English vocabulary to everyone for free, and to help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free. They combine these two aims masterfully, asking the site's visitors to guess the meaning of a certain word. A correct answer automatically donates 20 grains of rice. Not only can going to the site make you feel good about your big brain, but it'll also make you feel good knowing that you used your big brain helped someone less fortunate. So stop reveling in your own torpor and visit FreeRice.com
