Help yourself while helping others with this Cloudeight site pick

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.

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 once a year. It’s fun, educational, and your participation is all it takes to help needy people.

You can spend hours on www.FreeRice.com . Every minute you spend on it you’ll be helping feed a hungry person somewhere in this world. The gap between the very rich and the very poor has become deeper and wider than ever before. 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 using this site.

Here’s the concept of FreeRice.com: It’s a vocabulary quiz. Each word you get right, the site’s owner promised to donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. I personally spent I don’t know how much time on this site and was able to go over 10,000 grains of rice and my score vocabulary level was 50. I benefited because I learned quite a few new words and I’m sure the 10,000 grains of rice will help feed someone who is hungry.

If you like challenges and you like helping people, you’ll really love this week’s Site Of The Week.

Here’s some information from the developer:

“…How does the FreeRice vocabulary program work?

FreeRice has a custom database containing thousands of words at varying degrees of difficulty. There are words appropriate for people just learning English and words that will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are thousands of words for students, business people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers, retired people… everyone!

FreeRice automatically adjusts to your level of vocabulary. It starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty and then, based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you get a word wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three words in a row right, you go to a harder level. This one-to-three ratio is best for keeping you at the “outer fringe” of your vocabulary, where learning can take place.

There are 55 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get much above level 48….

…For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.

FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.

FreeRice has two goals:

Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.

Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.

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.

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.

Visit http://freerice.com/  and make a difference. You’ll be a better person for visiting this site and you’ll be helping someone else too.
