FreeRice | Alleviating world hunger through vocabulary
Vocab junkies help feed the world! You know who you are. People say it's like you've swallowed a dictionary; you use audacious words in place of the simplified synonyms (sheepishly guilty?); you have time to spare to improve (or show off) your vocab skills; you want to help those less fortunate than you?
To all those who answered in the affimative, there's FREE RICE, a sister site of the world poverty site Poverty.com.
FreeRice has two goals: (1) Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free and (2) Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free. How? For each word you get right, FreeRice donates 10 grains of free rice to help end world hunger.
The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and the rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it. So go on...rev up your cranium @ www.freerice.com.
