I saw this link from one of my Multiply contact.
FreeRice is a sister site of Poverty.com. Or so it claimed.

The goals of the site are
One; Provide English vocabulary for everyone for free
and
Two; Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

How does it provide rice to hungry people for free? You hafta check the site for more.

Besides, i’m having fun with its vocabulary game.
For each correct word you get right, 20 grains will be donated via the United Nations to end world hunger..
Go try it…i have donated 840 of grains so far.

What is cornucopia again?

Horn of plenty!
Or in other word, abundance.
Okay..okay…i googled the second meaning.

    this is DEFINITELY good for me since my vocabulary very limited ler..getting ready now so that when Josh started his schooling, ask his mommy this and that, his mommy can give him d correct answer kan :-)

    Sama lah with me mamaJ…sometimes, i get speechless if my husband’s nephew asked me words that i do not even know the meaning. You know lah how they pick up words from TV kan.

    For some reason, the word “rice” makes me hungry. Like REALLY hungry. Baru bangun bah ni.. busy writing assignments before pergi mandi and makan. Bah, I mandi and go out makan first before trying out this game.

    Cornucopia.. Eh! Macam “talapia” pulak bunyinya!

    LOL! Ini mesti kes lapar yg melampau ni…

    Betul kah this?

    You are referring to the part it send rice for free or the vocab game being fun? :)

    The truth is, i dunno. I just like the vocab game so much i thought it will be fun to share it with others.
