Improve Your Mind and Help Feed the Hungry



Hunger remains a problem all over the world and with the cost of corn, rice, and flour skyrocketing due to higher energy and fertilizer costs, the use of corn to develop ethanol, droughts, and politics and wars, it will only get worse.

Recently I was made aware of FreeRice.com.

Play a free, addictive word game, build your vocabulary, and for every correct answer win 20 grains of rice to feed hungry people all over the world - 7,500 grains provides 2 cups of rice distributed by the United Nations World Food Program.

"FreeRice.com is one of the most ingenious websites of 2007. In the best spirit of the Internet it offers education, entertainment, and a way to change the world all for free."
--Los Angeles Times

According to the web site it can help you:

  • Perform better at job interviews
  • Sell yourself, your services, and products better
  • Be more effective and successful at your job
  • Speak more precisely and persuasively
  • Write better papers, e-mails, and business letters

My goal is to win 7,500 grains of rice a day.
