Expand your vocab; Feed a hungry world...

Help end world hunger



My dear friends Andi and Frank recently told me about this cool website, http://www.freerice.com/. The UN World Food Program has set up a site where advertising sponsors agree to donate free rice to those in need every time you answer a vocabulary question correctly! 20 grains are donated for each right answer and the more you play, the more you give. It is a fun way to sharpen your syntax and impress your friends.

Observe:

You can play even if you are home, sick in bed with pollinosis.

Ooo, you say, she sounds very smart and medical-ish. Well, I just learned on www.freerice.com that pollinosis means "hay fever"!

See what I mean! O-kay, ready, set, GO!

I expect to see big words in all of your blogs! I won't tell! :)

Love,

Laura

Laura, what a cool site and a great idea! That totally goes along with my post today about little things we do making a big difference.

Thanks for sharing this site!
