Free Rice


I recently came across Free Rice, a very creative site that both tests your vocabulary and helps to aid world hunger. For each question answered correctly the website donates 20 grains of rice to people living in poverty. Free Rice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com. It's all made possible by the sponsors who advertise on the site. If you like the idea please help to spread the word
