Hi,

Today in school, our teacher told me about this great site (http://www.freerice.com). I just wanted to share it with you because it does great work. If you go there, you will play a vocabulary game where you are given a word and a list of five other words (one of them is a synonym of the original word). For each word that you match with the correct synonym, FreeRice donates 10 grains of rice to the United Nations to end world hunger. Today in my free period, I took 5 minutes out of my time and raised 240 grains of rice. It's a great site. Not only is it a great charitable cause, but it improves your vocabulary. Take a few minutes; feed a family.
