Feeling guilty about wasting your time playing online games? Now, let us introduce to you a guilt-free game that does not only satisfy your gaming needs but also helps to feed the hunger.Freerice.com donates rice to starving people worldwide every-time you guess the correct meaning of a random word. Not only do you learn, but you also feed someone who desperately needs it.
FreeRice is the brainchild of John Breen, founder of Poverty.com and TheHungerSite.com. The concept here is ridiculously simple:
1. You answer multiple choice questions that test your vocabulary
2.Advertisers pay FreeRice to place ads on the web pages alongside the questions
3. The advertisers’ money pays for the rice
4. The more questions you answer—and the more ads you eyeball—the more rice you’re able donate
Unlike most other charities, you don’t have to spend any money in order to help alleviate hunger. All you need is your brilliant vocabulary (or online dictionary...hehe...)
WARNING: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades, job performance...
Turns out FreeRice’s creators aren’t sitting on a pile of rice counting out the grains each time you get an answer right. Instead, FreeRice gives the money it gets from advertisers to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), which in turn uses the cash to buy rice for the needy in impoverished areas.
Since it’s launched, FreeRice has donated 2,840,667,010 of them, which is 130,470 pounds of rice.
We encourage you to visit the site and help the starving children in the world.
Here is a challenge to you .
