learning to end world hunger

Have you ever been in the situation where you had to prepare for a standardized test but you couldn't stop thinking about how to help end world? Me neither. But, you guys still have to check this site out. It's called FreeRice.com. Essentially, you play an SAT prep type of vocab game, and for every correct answer the site will donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. You don't have to sign up for anything, it's completely anonymous.

The money that is used to pay for the rice is provided by groups or companies that advertise on the site. The site is administered by Poverty.com, which was started by an individual who wanted to let people know about the problems with world hunger and to find practical solutions. The site has no religious, corporate, or political affiliation.

Please make sure to check out the site (and other sites) and pass it along to all of your friends.
