A Computer Game That Fights Hunger;

Believe it or not, it is indeed true.
At freerice.com, kids 8 and older can build their vocabulary and help end world hunger.
For each correct word match on the quiz, sponsors donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations' World Food Program. FreeRice had raised over 44 billion grains; that's enough to feed more than two million people for a day.
Just today I donated over 80 grains, why can't you? Even if you aren't big on helping the world solve it's hunger problem, this program builds a better vocabulary.

Our economy may be in a recession, and not all of us can contribute as much as we should, but FreeRice is an easy and effective way of doing what you can for society.
I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE IT.
