Free Rice

We like to feature this site from time to time because it’s such an amazing site that does so much good for so many people. And if you have never heard of this site, you’ll love it. If you haven’t been to this site in a long time, go back and check it out – it just gets better and better.

Freerice.com is one of the most interesting sites we’ve ever featured. And because this site does good for those in need, we like to feature it from time to time.  It’s fun, educational, and your participation is all it takes to help needy people. And we warn you, if you’re a vocabulary freak, you are going to spend a great deal of time on this site.  Indeed, you can spend hours and hours on www.Freerice.com  . Every minute you spend on it  and ever vocabulary word you get right, helps feed a hungry person somewhere in this world. The gap between the very rich and the very poor has become deeper and wider than it has ever been. Most of us, thankfully, are somewhere in between. Even if you don’t have much money you can help someone who has even less, by playing the vocabulary quizzes on Freerice – there are 60 levels of vocabulary words..

Here’s the concept of Freerice.com: It’s a vocabulary quiz. Each word you get right, the site and its sponsors will donate grains rice to the United Nations World Food Program. I spent a lot of time on this site and answered 79 vocabulary words in a row before I missed one – it was just because I was tired EB!  I benefited because I learned quite a few new words and I’m sure the thousands of  grains of rice will help feed someone who is hungry.

If you like challenges, testing your vocabulary, and helping people too, you’ll really love this Cloudeight Site Pick.

Here’s some information from the site’s owner:

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself. Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you….”

If you’re not fond of learning new vocabulary words, you can choose from a variety of other subjects from math to English grammar, to science, German, Spanish, French, Italian, to geography and more. So if you’re one of those constantly calling me out for my grammar, send me screen shot of your grammar acheivements. Kind of like put up or shut up 🙂 I await your grammar scores. I will display them on our InfoAve site in a blog which will be lovingly dedicated to the Grammar Police.

We hope each of you will take a few minutes to visit Freerice.com . I bet that you, like us, will find yourself playing the vocabulary quiz or browsing the other subjects for more than a few minutes. You’ll be helping yourself and others too. It’s a great idea, a great site, and a great cause. We think Freerice.com is one of the best sites ever to be chosen as our Site Of The Week and we’re featuring it again this week because it’s good for you and others too.
