]]> free rice

Today I found a great site that gives free rice to the hungry and helps you polish your vocabulary skills.  It’s Free Rice. 

Free Rice simply gives you a word and then 4 words to choose from that have the same or similar meaning as the given word.  For every right answer you choose, Free Rice will give 10 grains of rice to a person in need. 

Today I worked for just a few minutes and was able to give 310 grains of rice.  Some of the words were hard, so if you’re like me, you’ll need to have dictionary.com open when you play.  lol

I hope you’ll spend a few minutes today sharpening your vocabulary and helping the needy.  Thanks to people playing the game, over 250,000 grains of rice are donated each day.  Wouldn’t you like to help make it more?

child hunger 
    

Did you know? . . . Last year, the America’s Second Harvest Network provided food assistance to more than 25 million low-income hungry people in the United States, including more than 9 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.

Right now Pampers is giving $1 to America’s Second Harvest for every ecard sent.  The cards include a video and are able to be personalized.  It’s really that simple.  This is definitely an easy and cost friendly way to help those in need.  Click here to send an ecard to help America’s Second Harvest.
