I realize I’m a little behind the times in pointing to this website. I heard about it a week or two ago and never got around to actually taking a look at it. But I’m glad I did.
The object is simple. You get a word. You try to select the correct definition. If you get it right, 20 grains of rice are donated through the U.N. to end world hunger. You get another word right…more rice gets donated. Fortunately, getting a definition wrong doesn’t take rice away.
At this point, they’ve donated more than 10 billion grains of rice. Not sure how big of a pile that is, but I sure wouldn’t want to be buried under it.
It’s educational. It’s a game. It’s a small way to help feed those in need.
So. Free rice. Go play.
I see that smile.
Word challenges. Helping to feed the poor.
Great idea.
Tried this the other day with KB.
Will do it again.
Damn and blast you Sir!
Just when I thought I could relax. Just when a horrendous month of too much work and ill children is finally coming to an end and I am looking forward to returning to a long-neglected project. Just when I thought it was safe to read your blog again – what happens???!!!
You post a fantastic and hoplessly addicitive game to snare me!
Damn and blast you again Sir!
🙂
So far I’ve earned 3,000 grains and my best level is 42.
Hope you’re doing ok Josh – happy Christmas to you and yours. 🙂
It’s all part of my plan, which is so dastardly I don’t even know what the plan is yet because it would make my head explode for all the dastardliness.
Merry Christmas, Chris. I’m sure we’ll be in touch soon.
