Let's Help End World Hunger

Ten million people die every year of hunger and hunger-related diseases. Only eight percent are the victims of high-profile earthquakes, floods, droughts and wars. The rest are often forgotten. Who are they? They are hungry people in developing countries who don't make the headlines and most of us probably won't know that they are 820 million in total, more than the combined populations of the United States, Canada and the European Union.

What if you knowing that each word you get right through a vocabulary game could help feed 820 million hungry people around the world, will you get a right word for them?

Well, at FreeRice, each word you get right, you have already donated 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help all the end world hunger. I did. I have already donated 5470 grains of rice, and I will keep donate more, what's about you?

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 your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. It's even precious when you knowing that somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.

For your information, the rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning and reducing hunger. Thank to them and FreeRice.

So, what are you waiting now? Let's play the vocabulary game at FreeRice and feed a hungry person.
