"Every grain of rice is essential in the fight against
hunger."
The Department of Student Wellness (SWELL) invites you to be a
part of the fight against hunger. By visiting www.FreeRice.com, students have
the opportunity to help feed hungry people and educate themselves
at the same time.
Run by the United Nations World Food Program, FreeRice.com will donate 10 grains
of rice to countries that need it most for every trivia question
answered correctly on the website. Though 10 grains may seem like a
small amount, it is important to remember that while you are
playing, thousands of others are playing at the same time.
This joint effort makes a difference! In 2008, 43,942,622,700
grains of rice were donated through FreeRice.com to help end world
hunger.
