About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds,and unfortunately, it is children who die most often.






Now,if you wanna have a part in helping to end hunger in the world,here's quite an easy way:

FreeRice.com is a website in association with the UN World Food Program (WFP),which Provids English vocabulary to everyone for free & helps to end hunger in the world by providing free rice to hungry people.



All you should do is playing a vocabulary game on the site! To play the game, you should click on one of the four definitions given for a word that you think is the correct one. If you get it right, FreeRice donates 20 grains of rice to WFP to help end hunger!



FreeRice has a custom database containing thousands of words at varying degrees of difficulty. There are words appropriate for people just learning English and words that will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are thousands of words for students of all ages, business people, homemakers, doctors, retired people… everyone!
FreeRice starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty. There are 60 levels in all. When you get a word wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three words in a row right, you go to a harder level.


Over 35 billion grains have been donated up to now by people around the world who played this game on FreeRice
