This online game helps increase your vocabulary and donate rice to the United Nations World Food Program. For each multiple choice vocabulary word that you get right, the sponsors will donate 20 grains of rice. Rating the words according to the number of people who get the word right, the computer chooses a harder word after each right answer and an easier word after each wrong answer. The correct answer is given at the top of the next question so when the wrong answer reappears as another question, you can still donate rice for that word.

This new site launched July 4, 2008 consists of an internet search powered by Google and a Bible search powered by eBible. Each internet search done on the site earns money for the site, 30% of which will be donated to a charity in Africa. Once the site has paid for their start-up overhead, that donation will increase. At the time this article was written, the exact charity the money will be donated to is still to be determined. You can help decide by going onto the site and voting for the money to be donated to the Nelson Mandala Foundation or to the Reach for a Dream Foundation. While you are there, set it up as your home page so you use their search engine whenever you need to search the internet.
