Play a word game at Free Rice and for each word you get right, they will donate 100 grams of rice to the hungry.

Neat idea – doing good while having fun – and plenty addictive. I totaled 540 grams playing today and plan to do a bit every day. (Do you know what nitid is? or feracious? Me neither. I could have gone on forever, but I was feeling esurient…and had to go and get dinner….oops, refection).

Here’s what they write on their site:

About Free Rice:

FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.

FreeRice has two goals:

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. 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. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you.

Thanks to Chris Kevill at Modern Vedic Astrology for the tip.
