Rice and vocabulary

“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.” --Edmund Burke

What did I do yesterday? I donated rice.

I played a vocabulary game on http://www.freerice.com/. It doesn’t sound like much of a contribution to society, I know. But every time you answer a vocabulary question correctly, the organization donates 10 grains of rice to hungry people. This website is run by the United Nations World Food Programme.

The organization has two main goals: (1) to educate people for free, using this vocabulary game and (2) to end world hunger by providing rice to people in need. What an excellent combination!

Please check out this website. Even if you only answer a few questions, you are doing something small to help end world hunger. It doesn’t get much more awesome than that!
