Learn Words; Feed the Poor
Listen here
A new website is providing free food every time a person can give the correct definition of an English word.
Visitors to
Freerice.com
are shown a list of four possible meanings for each word. For each correct answer, ten grains of rice are donated through the United Nations to help end hunger.
More than a billion grains of rice have been donated thus far. The Internet game has provided enough rice to feed 50,000 people for one day.
