I saw this on national news the other day and thought it was a wonderful idea.  Help educate kids and adults and it's challenging at the same time I was helping the United Nations with World Hunger.

On Free Rice: http://www.freerice.com/  Every word that you get correct you are helping donate 10 grains of rice.  Doesn't sound like much but it does add up and it helps others.

 A third grade teacher found this website and thought it might be good in her class, but thinking it also might be to hard.  She was amazed at how wonderful the kids did and they knew they were helping people that didn't have that much food.

I have challenged some friends and it is addicting.  Now I am challenging "Viewpoints" members to give it a try. It won't cost you a cent, just your time and your will power.

The site is very simple to use and I even learned some new words and meanings...

Someone turned me on to this last week, and it's completely addictive! What a great idea.
