basically, you work to improve your vocabulary while also helping rice to be delivered to people who really need it.
on the bottom of each page, there is a banner from a sponsor. these sponsors pay the website based on the number of views of their banner (like with many website) and then the creators of website take that money and give it directly to the UN World Food Program.
the first FreeRice donations have gone to purchase rice:
- in Bangladesh, to feed 27,000 refugees from Myanmar for two weeks.
- in Cambodia, to provide take-home rations of four kilograms of rice for two months to 13,500 pregnant and nursing women.
- in Uganda, to feed 66,000 school children for a week.
- in Nepal, to feed over 108,000 Bhutanese refugees for three days.
- in Bhutan, to feed 41,000 children for over 3 days.
- in Myanmar, to feed 750,000 cyclone affected people for 3 days.
so, instead of wasting time on facebook, start building your vocab!
