Fighting World Hunger with FreeRice.com

The Sacramento Bee has an article about FreeRice.com, a website ending world hunger and promoting world literacy.

FreeRice.com visitors test their vocabulary by selecting synonyms for words from a multiple choice list. When the right answer is selected, 20 grains of rice are donated to the hungry.

These donations are paid by the site's advertisers and the rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program.

I love FreeRice.com. I think I've donated tons of rice since finding it. I've been using it to help my daughter prepare for the upcoming ACT and SAT tests.
