How about a way to give back to those in need? It’s free but will cost you time and brain power. Freerice.com is a sister site of www.poverty.com . Freerice.com has 2 goals
1) provide English vocabulary for free to whomever uses the website and
2) help the UN end world hunger one small donation at a time.
Your involvement is easy, no registrations, no commitments, just a fun way to expand your vocabulary. Every answer you get right you have just donated 20 grains of rice. 20 grains doesn’t seem like much, but this morning I donated 2000 grains of rice in less than 10 minutes. Rice is a staple amongst many countries and cultures, but a valuable luxury to hungry people thousands of miles away.
I stumbled upon this site when looking to supplement my middle schoolers education at home. We go on the sight at least 2-3 times a week. It’s a fun way to expand and challenge your vocabulary plus you get to watch your rice bowl fill up and empty out as a donation. You can also check out the monthly rice that have been donated. Be apart of a good cause + exercise your brain + help those in need = warm fuzzies!
Expiration Date: None

What a fun sight! I wound up working through about 50 words – warning, potential time sink ahead, but it’s for a great cause. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
