Free Rice

I was looking through websites the other day, when i found this one.
Free Rice is a website that encourages free education, and free rice. Basically, you can 'donate' 10 grains of rice to the needy simply by choosing the right answer to an english vocab question. For every question you get right you donate another 10 grains.
I looked into whether it was legit (which, i must admit, i didnt think it was), and from what i have found out, it is.
You can choose from different subjects, which include:
~Art
~Maths
~Chemistry
~english
~Language learning
and
~Geography

I really wanted to work out how many grains of rice were in a cup, so i did some maths (or rather my calculator did), and found out that 10,000 grains of rice are in a cup...Thats a lot of right answers.
My total so far is 16,660, and counting (its pretty addicting).

Well, have fun playing Free Rice!

Just trying to help stop hunger.

I'm just trying to help, I'm just trying to do my bit in the world. You know, achieve world peace of whatever.

Every six seconds a child dies from hunger, and related causes.


I write that on my hand every day, as a reminder to everyone that when your eating your lunch, someone isn't.

World Food Program (WFP) is doing a great deal to help stop hunger.
WFP's strategic plan lays out five objectives and all our work is geared towards achieving them. They are:

~Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies
~Prepare for emergencies
~Restore and rebuild lives after emergencies
~Reduce chronic hunger and undernutrition everywhere
~Strengthen the capacity of countries to reduce hunger


You can help WFP do their work by donating. 25c is all it costs to give a child a nutritious meal, and just $5 will feed a child for a year.




tell people about this, word of mouth is a powerful tool in the fight against hunger!

peace out.
