Not sure if I’ve ever commented on this site before.
It’s called Free Rice. What is it is a vocabulary site that through advertising gives away rice to developing countries. The fact page is here.
If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?
FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 20 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
So it’s a site where you can improve your vocabulary and help folks out at the same time.
So far my highest score is 43, with 2580 grains of rice donated. And I must say, I really don’t even notice the advertising.
Rather cool eh?
My name is Dorian and I’m reaching out to popular blogs. I’m working with a small startup called Avanoo that wants to give bloggers the opportunity to raise awareness and funding for causes that they care about by putting a badge on their blogs that looks like the one below.
We haven’t launched yet, but we’re reaching out to a few top bloggers, now, to help us test our technology and spread the word. If you can help us to show others how, together, bloggers and web users can raise funds and awareness for good causes by using the power of our voices, I’d be so grateful.
Thanks for your time,
Dorian
