Free Rice Donation

Guys...

I just found out a website that offers education, entertainment and a way to change the world ― all for free. This educate us in English vocabulary, entertaining because it sort of like a quiz, and the prize of every correct answer you donate 2o grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Isn't it a very good way to make every each of us join together to help the world ?

But be aware.. the vocab you'll play is very hard ! Almost every word is a new word, never been heard before (by me or by you....). So, prepare your dictionary, or you can googling for the correct answer. It's fun to know that you can help other so easily.
So why wait ? Click on the banner to play your vocab quiz and start donate free rice !
