FreeRice.com

Free Rice? Is there such a thing as a free lunch? Well not for us at least, but for millions of other poverty stricken people in the world, there are going to have free rice.

Ok, what am you talking about? How are they going to have free rice? Stop bullshitting.

I’M NOT! This is for real. This website - FreeRice.com gives out rice to poor people.

Well, I don’t believe a single shit that you say. Prove to me. This seems like one of those thousands of spam mail.

Basically the deal is like this. FreeRice.com is a website that allows users to improve their vocabulary by giving a word with 4 multiple choice answers for the user to choose. Like some sort of quiz-la.

The deal is, for every question that a user answers correctly, FreeRice.com will sponsor 10 grains of rice for the poor. Ain’t that cool?

But how can I be certain that the rice will really be sponsored and not just another scam?

Well, FreeRice.com is a sister site of Poverty.com, a world poverty site. It seems pretty legitimate and from the About pages of Poverty.com it states that it is run by a “private individual (John Breen) and has no political, religious, or corporate affiliation.”

OK, I found links to poverty.com from BBC and Washington Post website too. So I’m pretty sure what this guy is doing is for real. Else you can go burn in hell by eating up other people’s money.

Anyway, coming back to FreeRice.com it is actually an ingenious way of obtaining funding for the poor people. Users don’t need to pay a single cent. FreeRice.com generates its money from advertising by large corporations such as Fujitsu, American Express etc. The ads appear at the bottom of every vocab question.

This is a real clever and innovative trick to raise money. No solicitation of donations from the public. Kudos to FreeRice.com. Charities should really learn and make use of the free market to raise money too.

FreeRice.com really has a perfect attractive force to attract new visitors and frequent visitors to the site. You can really improve you vocab this way. Real good if you are preparing for you English, General Paper or SAT exams….

So whatcha waiting for? Hop on to FreeRice.com
