| So if you haven't already heard of it, Freerice.com is an organization that is making an effort to put an end to hunger. It's a website that asks various questions in general knowledge subjects -- vocabulary, foreign language, geography, physics, math, etc etc. For every question the user answers correctly, 10 grains of rice are donated to those in need through the UN's World Food Programme. Donors worldwide give money to help pay for the rice and run the site. The rice is sent to countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Bhutan, Uganda, and Nepal, though they can travel all over the world. If you choose to, you can do really simple subjects and blaze through them. I'm going on 400 grains of rice in about 5 minutes. A few minutes a day goes towards a great cause... and now I'm hungry for rice. http://freerice.com/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freerice.com | |

| i've used this before. i got my whole school class to use it. we found that using freerice actually puts viruses onto your computer(or at least used to), so i would recommend scanning your computer for viruses | |

| No the thing that puts viruses on your computer is clicking the ads on the side and believing the "Your computer has 4 viruses!" fakes. A program that works in partnership with the UN is not going to give you viruses. | |
