A way to help put an end to world hunger while adding to the sum of your knowledge - not a bad idea. FreeRice.com, the sister site to Poverty.com, offers visitors a vocabulary test where each correct answer generates a donation of 20 grains of rice to hungry people across the globe. The donations are made possible by the Web site's sponsors, such as Macintosh, Google and Liz Claiborne. Money is given by FreeRice.com to the United Nations World Food Programme, which then purchases the rice and ensures its proper distribution.
