i played more and have donated 3090 more tody thats a total of 4200 grains of rice given to the needy.
im happy i get to help people and in a fun way to.
i wonder how much rice would be given if everyone in the world gave atleast 1000 grains of rice each. then that would be alot to give to the people who need it.

A helpful hint- look at the word roots. Roots like "mal" or "mor" generally mean bad things, whereas "lu" means bright and "bene" means good. Find a list of latin word roots on the web to help you out. A suffix word list would help too! Cam

Hey Mr. Forde,
I just wanted to say that Free Rice is really fun. I didn't get as much as some people ( Melissa and Louis) but I did get 230 or more, I don't remember. Hehe...
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that it is also a very good way to donate food to the hungry.
Can't wait until our next trip to the food bank!

Hi Haley,

Every little bit helps! Thanks for playing the game.

I also can't wait to get back to the food bank to help make a difference.


One cool thing happened in the last 24 hours. In todays Stamford Advocate they reported that the food bank had received an anonymous $50,000 donation for the purchase of turkeys! Isn't that cool?

Have a great weekend.
