Rumble: One Billion Grains of Rice. Contribute by Playing...

FreeRice is a simple web-computer game with a humanitarian soul. The computer game tests your vocabulary. For every word you get right 10 grains of rice are donated to hungry people through the United Nations.
The game began on October 7, 2007. Thus far over one billion grains of rice have been donated.

FreeRice is sponsored by Macy's Department Stores, Apple Computer, Office Depot, TimeLife, Inc., Fujitsu, Readers Digest and a number of other companies. The companies advertise on the FreeRice website, their small logos appearing on the site at the bottom of the screen as you play the game. The sponsors pay for all the rice donated by players playing the vocabulary game.
