A friend told me about this ingenious website the other day.
It's called Free Rice.
It does two things:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on the site.
Fun. Simple. Effective.
ADDICTIVE.
I love how a game can be utilized to a) feed the hungry, b) entertain you and c) benefit corporations through advertising.
Although not the Achilles heal to end world hunger, efforts like Free Rice are effective, tangible methods of supporting those who address the world's socioeconomic issues (in this case the rice is donated to the United Nations World Food Program).
How can this creative, out-of-the-box thinking be used to address human trafficking?
Any ideas?
I'm all ears.
