Answer some questions and feed the hungry
I found a site the other day totally by accident that has such a simple and great concept, it’s amazing that no one told me about it before. FreeRice.com asks you simple questions, for each question you answer correctly they will donate 10 grains of rice. This doesn’t sound like a lot, but there is no catch! No junk mail showing up at your house, nothing to buy, simply answer some questions and help feed some hungry people. Since the site launched on October 7th, 2007, more than 1.7 billion grains of rice have been allocated for the hungry. The running totals are really amazing. FreeRice has two goals:
- Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
- Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
So put on your thinking cap, answer some questions, help feed some hungry people. Please use whatever social bookmarking site you are a part of (StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, etc.) to help move this site forward and get some more traffic to it.
