    Basically, it's a never-ending vocabulary test where each correct answer donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. So far I've donated 1,220. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Haha, it can be pretty addicting. Especially since it's for a good cause. :wink:

    I could never play that game for more than like 500.

    I get so discouraged for some reason.

    It's a good site, I've played it a few times when I've had nothing to do.

    I've just sat and got 2000 grains of rice. Mind you, that's probably a small handful.

    It is addicting... I raised 10,000 grains today. I set it to keep track of how many I raise, I want to see how many I can do in a month. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    lol I found that website too a while back! I found it when I joined a group on facebook though and there was a link to it! I was on that site for like 20 minutes though lol. It's pretty cool knowing that they give africa rice everytime you get words right.
