I found out about a neat website today. FreeRice.com lets you improve your vocabulary and fight world hunger at the same time. The service is both fun and free.
On the website, you try to choose the correct definition for a word. For each word you get correctly, they donate 10 grains of rice to the UN’s World Food Program. It supposedly works by using advertising revenue to fund the donations, but I did not see any ads on the site.
I do not know how well FreeRice.com will work out, but I commend them for their originality. We need this type of originality. The old ways of fighting world hunger and poverty have not worked. World hunger and poverty still plague our world. We need to think of new ideas. Help think up new ideas at the Hunger and Poverty Forums. It’s completely free, and all viewpoints are welcome.
