Every Grain Counts!

OK, so I didn’t go running around photo shoot sessions and playing the fame game. But I was spending much time playing an online game, one that helps improve my vocabulary and at the same time help reduce world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free! I’m referring to the online vocab game over at FreeRice dot com. For each word players get right, FreeRice donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Prgram to help reduce world hunger. Yes, isn’t that a noble cause? I’ve since “donated” tens of thousands grains of rice.

Who pays for the donated rice?

The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry).

The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), the world’s largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. See where the rice goes to.

Before I end this post with a video about FreeRice, I urge you to go over to Free Rice and make your contributions to help reduce world hunger. Spread the words to your families and friends. Remember, no amount is too small, every grain counts!

It’s definitely time well spent for a noble cause.
