    [Engaged] FreeRice.com

    Hello, all,

    Take a look at FreeRice.com. No money needed, just time and a little knowledge. It's more or less a quiz game, where a correct answer results in some rice being given to the hungry. Various organizations provide the money, and run ads along the bottom of the screen, which are very easily ignored.

    Hi Luciana,

    that's a nice recommendation, thank you.

    Someone said about such games, one could invest one's time into higher paid work and donate that money, but not everyone has the possibility.
    Moreover, the site got me on "English vocabulary" and there were a few words I had to guess. So it may have educational purposes.
    (I imagine Kyonin putting all of his English students in front of that... )

    If others like it too, maybe it would be possible to move it to the favourite charities??
    Just my opinion.

    Gassho,
    Danny

      Yes, FreeRice.com is educational too--many categories--vocabulary in several languages, English grammar, geography, art, etc.

      "Someone said about such games, one could invest one's time into higher paid work and donate that money, but not everyone has the possibility."

      Wasn't suggesting it as full-time work, just something that one can do in free moments that helps others and is kind of fun too.

            Yes! Nice vocabulary game! I have learned a couple new words there.

            Now if only it was in Japanese too

              I'm ameliageika at freerice. I think we could be a group if there's more Treeleafers with logins there.
