Free Rice



If you haven't already heard about this site,
then now is a great time to check this website out. This will especially interest those of you following this site from public health who take interest in global health, which, I imagine, is most of you.

Free rice is basically a sort of quiz or knowledge game where for every correct answer you get, 20 grains of rice are donated to the U.N. World Food Programme. The questions adjust to your level of knowledge, making the site double as a great way to practice your Spanish (or German, French, and Italian), beef up your world geography knowledge, or practice your GRE type vocabulary. From their FAQ section:

Here is how it works. When you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
