Free Rice is a website that allows you to enhance your English vocabulary and feed a hungry person at the same time.

 The site asks you vocabulary questions, and for every answer you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN’s World Food Programme to be distributed in some of the poorest countries in the world. Now, 20 grains may not seem like a lot, but in two months and 4 days, 6,306,039,810 grains of rice have been gotten because of the number of people playing.

 This website has two aims:

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free

2. Help end world hunger by providing free rice to truly needy people

Unsure that this is a hoax? You can cross-check it isn’t at the WFP website and the BBC.

Free Rice gets the rice from the sponsors who put ads in the site.
It helps one’s vocabulary too, since for every word you get right, you’ll advanced to a higher level with more difficult words, while if you get one wrong, you’ll go to an easier level.

But what are you still doing here? Free Rice is fun too, almost addictive, and it makes you (or, well, at least it makes me) knowledge thirsty.

Go to Free Rice and help improve someone’s life!
