Free Rice

My friend Bridget showed me this website a few months ago that teaches you vocabulary words and as you learn you fill a bowl of rice that they will donate to starving children. Our family does this sometimes and the kids have fun learning new words. They are really happy when they just geuss and get the right answer too.

I have a link to it on the right if you scroll down. Just click and play.

I get no $$ for you trying this. I am not getting anything for sharing this with people. I just think that it is a great idea and if you can play and save children at the same time...why not?

Are you game?

Yo! My name is Chris and I'm reaching out to world-conscious blogs. I noticed that you blogged about free rice, and I'm working with a small startup called Avanoo that is developing a similar concept. By going to our site (avanoo.com) and putting one of many badges on your blog, every time someone clicks that badge, a dollar is donated by a corporate sponsor to the non-profit!

We're still in beta, but we wanted to spread the word as much as possible. If you can help us show others how, together, bloggers and web users can raise funds and awareness for good causes by using our collective power, I'd really appreciate it. Maybe you'll even blog about us!

Thanks for your time,
Chris
