PLN 25

I read a post out of the Fischbowl called Fight Hunger While Learning Vocab and it matters that there are organizations like Freerice.com because it really helps starving people all around the world. The article talks about this website called Free Rice ans you can get on and answer vocabulary questions and each one you get right it donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. Here is what he said in the article:
  • Click on the answer that best defines the word.

  • If you get it right, you get a harder word. If wrong, you get an easier word.

  • For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.
It is great that something this easiy can be this helpful. I actually got on the website and donated a little over 1000 grains of rice. It is pretty fun seeing how much you know. some of the words are really hard but you don't lose anything for a wrong answer, plus it's multiple choice. I bet they make a lot of donations because it is a fun way to do it. I am always hearing about people in Africa and other places who are starving and it is good that they are getting food from this website and from the united nations world food program. This kind of relates to what my school is doing right now with the toys for tots. It is cool that we can give those kids a chance to get at least one present this year for Christmas. I can't imagine what it feels like to get nothing for Christmas. I hope that a lot of people continue to use free rice and maybe eventually we won't have world hunger anymore.
