The Free Rice Website: This website would serve as a great homepage for school computers. It is a simple action tool for students wanting to help. Warning though.....it is addictive, but in the best way. For every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Teachers can even specify the subject matter and level of questions.
