This is a cool site! It's related to the world poverty site poverty.com. Rice gets donated to the UN World Food Program as you play a game that builds your vocabulary. It's free to play, the money for the rice comes from ad revenue.http://www.freerice.com/index.php Here's where the rice goes: http://www.wfp.org/english/?n=681
