PLAY A GAME AND FEED THE HUNGRY
Do you love playing games? Would you feel great to know you were helping to feed starving children and adults? There's a website out there where you can do just that!
GET TO KNOW FREERICE.COM
FreeRice.com is a website committed to the cause of ending hunger around the world. When you play the vocabulary game on that site, every time you get a word right, 20 grains of rice are donated to hungry children around the world (paid for by sponsors).
HOW THIS WORKS:
The donation of rice through FreeRice.com is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on that site. When you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
DOES FREERICE.COM MAKE MONEY FROM THIS?
No. FreeRice.com is run entirely for free and makes no profit. All money raised by the site goes to the UN World Food Program to help feed the hungry. Sponsors make all payments to the UN World Food Program directly.
WHO GETS THE RICE?
The rice that you donate is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). WFP is the world’s largest food assistance agency, working with over 3,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, WFP helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, WFP buys food locally to support local farmers and the local community.
WHY ELSE SHOULD I PLAY?
Besides feeding starving children and adults - as if that's not motivation enough - by playing the vocabulary game on FreeRice.com, you will be improving your vocabulary, which can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself. And it's fun!
