Just heard about this on Thom Hartmann.

Play a vocabulary game at www.freerice.com and rice is donated to feed hungry people around the world.

Please check it out, DU!

1. I've seen this before, and I don't understand

how just playing a game can do that? Is it advertising?

3. From FAQS at freerice.com:

Who pays for the donated rice?

The rice is paid for by the sponsors whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen when you enter a correct answer. These sponsors support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry). We thank these sponsors for their participation at FreeRice. For information about how you or your company can sponsor FreeRice, please email here.



Please check it out. There is lots of info there about the program.

2. LOL, I thought it was about Condaleeza

Maybe it was a program to break her free from Bush and her Neocon views.

5. LOL It's much better than that!

Go and check it out! :)
And feed some people.

6. She's not in jail yet

so we can't "Free Rice" -- for now, anyway. :evilgrin:

7. I used to play Free Rice a lot...

I should get back into it sometime.

If you like this site, you should also check out www.thehungersite.com and it's related sites. It's a similar premise and was started by the same guy behind Free Rice, I think.
