FreeRice.com is a site that offers you a free vocabulary word game that gives hungry people rice. For every word you get right on the site, FreeRice.com will donate 20 grain of rice to the poor and hungry people of the world through the United Nations World Food Program. WFP is the world’s largest food assistance agency, working with over 3,000 other organizations in over 75 countries.
FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com. Poverty.com is a moving site about world problems of poverty, hunger, disease, and solutions in progress.
FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.

Another great charity site is aidtochildren.com. It donates money to children in need through World Vision.
Freerice is excellent! They have different subjects available now, too. I think that started just a few days ago.
Another free charity word game site to try out is charitii.com; It’s got crossword puzzle questions and it donates drinking water to communities in need.
