Free Rice

It's interesting the things you stumble upon when looking for innocent things like pictures of trash cans. Okay - the pictures of trash cans were for a test in Tech Editing. I had nothing to do with selecting the content. But I digress.... some of the sites I found were expounding on the fact that we're quite an over-consuming nation. And sadly, I have to agree with them. People laughed at the concept of "ORT" (some acronym for wasted food that I don't remember) at sixth grade camp, but it's so true. We throw away quite a bit of food. So, to contrast this, most of these sites also provided images of the opposite end of the spectrum, primarily of images of the effects of the famine in Sudan, Africa. They were a cause for lament, to say the least.
Thus, I present my newest link: www.freerice.com. They say on the site that for each vocab word you guess correctly, the UN will donate 10 grains of rice to its World Food Program. Can't hurt, ehh?! It might seem like a drop in the bucket to some of us - but just remember that story of the little boy throwing the starfish back into the sea. It mattered a lot to the ones that were thrown back in. And it'll matter just as much to the people who get the meals we were able to give them.
And would you know it? I think I even improved my vocabulary a bit!
Give a try. I don't think you'll regret it.
