Donate rice by learning vocabulary.
http://freerice.com
It's a vocab builder that donates rice to the 3rd world with every click....I managed 2500 grains today....the link was spotted on the Adsense bar on the index....

Re: Donate rice by learning vocabulary.
Quite interesting. I got up to 140 grains of rice.
There's also a sister site. I digged a little deeper. It's called poverty.com. This site shows composite images of people who have died of hunger "within the hour." The images and names, however, are not real. It does show, however, a number which is probably true...up to 907 deaths this hour as I type. Deaths due to hunger.
There's also a page on the sister site for printing out a letter to mail to your country's prime minister or president asking him/her to support a certain percentage of the country's money to the goal of ending poverty. Nice.
By the way, LDMA, I think meeting people from the Internet can be healthy, in contradiction to my former original post. I say this because my father found someone on the Internet like you. His find was through cupidjunction.com. He is now happily married like you, and has been for a few years now.

Re: Donate rice by learning vocabulary.
Sounds like a good idea, never hurts.
I'm just left wondering who it is that has the unenviable task of actually counting the rice grains. Now that would take some patience, eh?

Re: Donate rice by learning vocabulary.
*bump
This is a great site! I just donated 2000 grains of rice, and learned some new words in the process. Warning: very addictive!

Re: Donate rice by learning vocabulary.
Yep. And I learn new vocab that may just come in handy for teaching too.
