Many of you have heard the phrase “Knowledge is Power,” but what about
“Knowledge is Philanthropy?” At freerice.com, your intellect and breadth of vocabulary allow you just that, the opportunity to give.

By simply playing word games, freerice.com gives you have the ability to donate an unlimited amount of rice grains to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP.) The process is simple. For every correct answer you submit 20 grains of rice is donated, for every 5 correct answers 100 grains are donated, and so on and so forth. No risk, just reward.

    A good and simple way to feel like you're helping while still only doing about 0.001% of what you COULD be doing.

    This is like prozac.

    How cool would it be if one of the flash game developers hooked these guys up with some simple (yet entertaining) game...

    Why don't they just give the people rice? Why make them wait for someone to play a game a get points first? Seems kind of strange.

    Somebody get Steve Wiebe on this. The future of rice delivery cannot be trusted to Billy Mitchell.

    Cool site. I've been using this with my students when we have some extra time in class at the end of the period. They LOVE it especially on my smartboard.
