End world hunger by learning vocabulary

What if just by knowing the meaning of a word, you could donate food to starving villages? Well that's the idea of www.freerice.com . It's a non-profit organization that asks you vocab questions and for each one you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice. The sponsors on the bottom of the page provide the money to buy the rice. It's then distributed by the UN World Food Program (WFP) . So please help out, not only are they supporting free education (the vocab) but you're actually making a difference. I even tried it out, which was good for me since I have vocabulary test tomorrow, which to be honest i forgot about up until now, so it helped me. Here's a screenshot of my score. My vocab level was 20 and my rice count was 380.
