FreeRice.com is a non-profit website which is run by the United Nations World Food Program. It partners with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. FreeRice has two goals.  One goal is to provide free education.  The second goal is to help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free. How does it work?  For each answer you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Programme to help end hunger. FreeRice.com currently offers questions in the subject areas of English, Math, Art, Chemistry, Geography, World Capitals, and Language Learning. It’s wonderful!  Check it out.
