I have found the best website. It is fun. It is educational. It feeds the world, 10 grains of rice at a time. That's right. Play games that increase your knowledge AND actually have rice donated to the world's hungry for each correct answer. You can improve your geography, science, math, and language arts skills by playing simple games. For each correct answer given, this site donates 10 grains of rice to the World Food Programme. Ten grains may not seem to be much, but just think, just like the Power of Only One, a mighty waterfall starts with just a single drop of water. Meeting the needs of the poor and hungry starts with just 10 grains of rice.
Go check out this site. Encourage your school-aged children to improve their brain power. Get everybody you know playing the games. Get involved and feed the poor. It's. That. Easy.
From the FreeRice.com:
"FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Program. Our partner is the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
FreeRice has two goals:
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
- Provide education to everyone for free.
- Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really make a difference by playing FreeRice?
The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it.
According to the United Nations, a child dies every 6 seconds from hunger related causes.
Though 10 grains of rice may seem like a small amount, it is important to remember that while you are playing, so are thousands of other people at the same time. It is everyone together that makes the difference. Thanks to you, FreeRice has generated enough rice to feed millions of people since it started in October 2007."
Don't forget to leave a comment, become a follower, or to retweet about this site (@LadyWanderlust PowerofOnlyOne Haiti Relief). For each action I will donate $1 to the cause. At this time we have raised $45 for the Haiti relief effort.
