FreeRice.com
A friend referred this site to Cooking Dummy.
“For each word you get right, we donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger.”
What a great concept she thought. Many Asians, including Cooking Dummy have rice three times a day. She remembers her grandma’s famous saying, “If you don’t finish your rice, your future husband will have acne problems.” Many girls, including Cooking Dummy, have the luxury to worry about starchy carbohydrates when there’re people suffering from hunger.
Cooking Dummy has been playing this game everyday to brush up her vocabularies and give free rice to those in need.
Freerice.com is a sister site of poverty.com and is mentioned on the World Food Programme
As of yesterday, 293,172,530 have been donated!

On the Freerice.com website, it mentioned 293,172,530 grains of rice have been donated as of yesterday. This site is also mentioned on the U.N. World Food Programme. I think people would be more motivated to play if they see the direct result of the contribution. So we won’t be asking is it really helping out?
