This is pretty much the concept behind FreeRice, an online initiative taken by UN World Food Program. The way it works is simple, you go to www.freerice.com, play the simple wordgame there, and for every word you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated to UN WFP.
WFP is the United Nations frontline agency in the fight against global hunger. Operations aim to:
Save lives in refugee crises and other emergencies
Improve nutrition and quality of life of world’s most vulnerable people at critical times in their lives
Enable development by (a) helping people build assets that benefit them directly; (b) promoting the self-reliance of poor people and communities
So if you are reading this, please visit www.freerice.com. While you build up your vocabulary, a lesser priviliged individual might get a meal.
Thanks for the beautiful news, ashish. I am happy to know about an easy way of helping needy children. In any case I love to play with words. If that addresses the hunger of a little child, at least to some extent, then there is nothing like it.
