While students are being educated, they are helping donate grains of rice to the hungry.

If you don’t have anything to do during class, don’t waste time playing Candy Crush or just sitting there doing nothing. Try out Freerice.com, a non-profit free website that gives 10 grains of rice for every question you get right to the hungry. The website’s goal, made possible by advertising sponsors, is to educate players for free and help end world hunger.

The site, owned by the United Nations World Food Programme, has categories ranging from famous paintings to SAT questions.
The more you get right, the more the game challenges you with harder questions. It can stump you no matter how familiar you are with the subject.

The interactive donations really make a difference. Thousands of players have fed millions of people every day. Since 2007 Freerice has donated over 99 billion grains of rice. Not only are players feeding the hungry but gaining new vocabulary skills and comprehending more.

The site is very efficient and informative. The idea is wonderful, you can spend your spare time learning and feeding the hungry; it’s a win-win situation.
