Free Rice

Join Now!

Click to join my group 'Fire and Rice' at Freerice.com. The website collaborates though the World Food Programme to help put an end to world hunger.

Here is how it works:
There are six categories to play including: Art, English, Chemistry, Geography, Language, and Math. When users select a category, they are asked to answer sets of questions pertaining to the subject they selected. For ever correct answer, Freerice.com donates 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme. And though 10 grains of rice seems a small donation, those grains sure add up!

I put 'Fire and Rice' together on March 16, 2011. There are 16 members in my group. We have a combined donation of 342,290 grains of rice to date. The top donators have contributed about 40,000,000 grains of rice per unit. 


This website just goes to show how the internet is revolutionizing, well, mostly everything. Just look at how easy it is today to collaborate with people all across the world; solving world hunger from the comfort of your computer chair! What else can be accomplished? Where else can we go? The door is left wide open, and there is no ceiling. This new internet age is just starting to bloom.
