Default This is kind of cool

A friend recently sent me this link: Free Rice

It's a fun way to improve your vocabulary and for every word you get right, the sponsor on the bottom of the page will donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations Whole Food Program. I've bookmarked this page and when I think about it, I'll go and do the game until at least 1000 grains of rice have been donated.

It's quick, it's easy (well, maybe not so easy. Some of those words are hard!), and it's such an easy way to give to those in need. I hope you'll check it out.

That was really fun. Some of those words were so obscure it would be amazing that anyone would get them right!

That was a lot of fun and it felt good to contribute to a good cause.

I like how the game gives you a second chance to get it right.
