Here's an interesting site that helps you learn English vocabulary and at the same time lets you donate rice to the poor. Each correct answer causes 20 grains of rice to be donated to UN food programs. Get busy!!!!

Those are some awfully hard words. I donated 720 grains but I missed 4 words. Most of them are obvious if you analyze them (granger, albescent, comestible) but I think people who don't speak English natively will be lucky to get 25%. :eek:

I could not donate much, as the exercises are quite hard for me. :( But the idea of the website is really great. Thanks for the link, anh Bob.

I stopped at level 10 and donated 3280 grains. I guessed I missed a lot of words! :D

Thank you, Bob! I will practice this game sometimes.

I finish freerice, freefish, freechagio, etc.
Now do you know where I can enjoy the freecleanwater and donate clean water? (Many people don't have access to clean water)

You are so right, and the problem is expected to get much worse in the coming years, not only with population growth, but also as global warming eliminates some glaciers which traditionally have been the source of drinking water. This will be a huge problem in Peru in the coming decade.
