Six Weeks in Rwanda

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has come out with a new website called Free Rice. By playing a vocabulary game, you can help purchase rice for hungry people in the Third World. For every question you get right, the WFP will buy 20 grains of rice. The best part is that you don't have to sign up or anything, just get online and play. It gives you the chance to build your vocabulary, and it feeds people in poor countries. The rice purchases are funded by advertisers, whose ads are tastefully placed at the bottom of the screen. Try it today, and play for a meal for someone who needs it.

During the summer of 2006, I did an internship in Rwanda and helped establish a rural telecenter in a small community. The got me interested in the Third World and development work, and this interest continues today. I will use this blog whenever I want to share my thoughts on developing countries and related subjects.
