Free Rice

Play and feed hungry people! I just discovered an amazing website called: www.freerice.com. It's a site where you put another definition for the word that pops up. When you answer a question correctly, the website automatically donates 10 grains of rice to starving people in poor countries. Just think how fortunate we are to have enough food and a home with heat and beds. Many people can't support their families and I think it's very important to help out around the world. In 2008, Free Rice raised 43,942,622,700 grains of rice! How would you feel if your developing country got that much rice from many supportive people?

  1. Wow that is so sweet, supportive to our world, and sad at the same time. I think that the people who help support our world are our future. People who help make one small difference count too. One grain of rice makes so much of a deal to someone living in africa or wherever but to us, its nothing. We are very lucky. Great Post!
