An easy way to give

Quite a while ago, I heard about this site through other English language teachers: http://www.freerice.com/. It's a vocabulary game you can play and for every word you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated through the UN World Food Programme.

Just recently, I heard about this one: http://www.freepoverty.com/. This is a geography game that I love! For every location that you answer correctly, ten cups of clean drinking water are donated through the Water Aid Organisation.

And this one is especially for dog lovers: http://freekibble.com/. It's a daily trivia game about dogs and when you answer, right or wrong, 20 pieces of kibble are donated to different animal shelters. http://www.freekibblekat.com/ is the same, but donations go to, you guessed it - hungry cats (Thanks to cat loving Sam who pointed this one out).

These games are fun (and slightly addictive, depending on your personality type ;)) and easy to play on any old computer. And here's a time when advertisers, sponsors, whatever you want to call them, appear on websites for something good.

So go play!
