FreeRice: Play a Game and Feed the Hungry
It’s not exactly on-message but it’s addictive and it’s for a good cause. FreeRice is a computer “game” that tests your vocabulary and for every word that you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated through the United Nations to end world hunger.
Curious? It’s simple: a word pops up with multiple choice answers. If you click the right one then a harder word comes up and the level of difficulty keeps increasing. For every click 10 grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Programme. Since October 7, 2007 when it began, 164,650,960 grains of rice have been donated.
