"what if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? well at FreeRice, it does... the totals have grown exponentially."
- the Washington Post
sounds confusing? well, it isn't.
The FreeRice campaign aims to end world hunger one word at a time. By playing the vocabulary game on the website, you will be able to directly help in solving world hunger and, subsequently, world poverty. For each word you get right, FreeRice donates 10 grains of rice through the United Nations. So far in the last month or so of the website's existence, about 2,098,280,280 grains of rice have been donated.
there's absolutely no catches - except maybe the fact that you will be able to help feed an entire family with just few clicks of your button.

Vlad! I donated 500 grains of rice last night thanks to your bulletin on myspace ^_^. I think I may have to work on my vocabulary though, I know I can donate more if I just knew more... actually, that's kind of ironic. Don't we acquire knowledge to solve world problems?
