So I discovered a new website via Facebook the other day called FreeRice.com. Its a new creative vocabulary game, started on October 7th, 2007, that donates 10 grains of rice through United Nations to help end world hunger.

It’s indeed one of the most creative ideas that I’ve seen on the internet. FreeRice is a simple concept, yet it yields great benefits. Not only are you, well, improving your vocabulary, you are also making a huge difference to those who receive the rice. And FreeRice.com runs the site at no profit. All the rice is paid for by the advertisers seen at the bottom of the page.

Visit FreeRice.com and read the FAQ.

UPDATE [Nov 28, 2007]: FreeRice.com now donates 20 grains of rice for each correct word.
