The concept is very neat, you get to match a word, from a possible list of four, to a word with the same meaning. There are also different categories for which you can be tested in (Chemistry, Geography, Art, etc.) For each answer you get correct, 10 rice grains is donated to the poor. It’s very catch, and all for two good causes: increasing your vocabulary AND donating food to the poor!

Their two main goals, as stated on their website, are:

  1. Provide education to everyone for free.
  2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

Countless numbers of people get haircuts each year, yet not many care to notice that their hair, which will end up in the garbage after the cut, could go to benefit a disadvantaged person. “Angel Hair for Kids” is an organization that makes wigs for children, 19 and under, that have lost their hair due to cancer or other diseases.

It is estimated that at least 10,000 children will lose their hair this year because of illnesses. Thus, the next time you decide to get a hair cut, try to think of the smile your cut hair will make on a disadvantaged child.
