Freerice

Freerice is a website where you play a range of educational multiple choice games, such as: English vocabulary and grammar, science, math, naming famous paintings and my favorite, geography. For each answer you get correct the website donates 10 grains of rice to fight world hunger.

In its first six months of operation, Freerice donated over 42 billion grains of rice. One month after the inception of the viral marketing program, users had earned enough points for one billion grains of rice. The United Nation's World Food Programme stated that this amount could feed 50,000 people for one day, since it takes 400 grams or about 19,200 grains of rice to feed one adult for a day. Using this calculation, enough rice was donated in 2008 to feed over 6,000 people daily for each day of that year. Since its inception, as of October 15, 2010, Freerice players had earned sufficient rice to feed over 4.32 million people for one day. -Wikipedia

So now if you want to help fight world hunger, but don't have money to send or something you have this.

Play and donate at Freerice.com
