A Chance to help the needy

free riceI found this neat way to help feed the needy when I was over at Neil's Notes reading. Click on the icon at the side and go to Free Rice. Then click on the correct definition of a word. And, with each correct answer, they will donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations to help feed the hunger in the world.

I liked that post. My vocabulary is not the greatest, but I could do pretty well. It was fun and nice to be helping the needy too.

It is fun, Cathy. I got most, but missed lots, too. When my mind said one thing, but I chose another, I missed the word. But, I gave 1000 grains and quit. Might just try it again.

This was so much fun, Barbara! What a great way to help the needy. I hope to go back and do it again later. I only made it to 500 so far--got my husband involved which made it take longer. :-)
BTW, I love your new heading and like your new profile pic too.

Maxine, I just tried again and got to 1100. It is lots of fun.

Thanks. The picture in the header is my granddaughter at about 3 years of age. And, I just decided to change my profile picture. Just thought I needed something different. It is a newer picture than the other one. It was also made in the back yard, but I just cut my head out. :)
