      Re: Lisa –

    37. Jaely says – reply to this


      37

      THAT WAS FUN. I DONATED 4,000 GRAINS OF RICE. MY GOOD DEED FOR THE DAY!

    38. Megan says – reply to this


      38

      I am so happy that Perez has put this site on here! I have been playing it for over three months, and it is great! It has helped me on my English essays, and I know that every word I get right helps feed someone less fortunate. Thank you Perez!
      Also, look up the word in the dictionary if you don't know it, you'll get a better understanding of what it means, plus ten more grains!
      ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!

      I like this game, but I wonder if it's actually legit.

    40. James says – reply to this

      I'm going to do it at least once a day, it's good to feel useful

      Love it =D

      Perez, I love you for putting this on your site!! Hopefully lots of people will play! Its so fun! I've been playing every day for a few weeks and I love it!!

    42. x-tine says – reply to this


      42

      Perez is clearly not on top of things. This is old news. Good news, but old news.

    43. pinks says – reply to this


      43

      You're so awesome P!!!!! What a nice thing for you to have posted!!! Email this all around people, its for a great cause!!

    44. Josie says – reply to this


      44

      I believe the site is legit. I remember reading that the sponsors pay for the rice. The site has been up for awhile but always important to spread the word as there are many people who have not heard of it.

      Hate to say this, but WHO is giving the money? I don't see any sponsors, nor any reference to a corporation/group who would be donating the cold hard cash??? Think about it.

      Awesome!!!
      It's so sweet of you to post ways people can help others.
      Next you need to have St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
      It's a cancer hospital for children.
      I'm a patient there and they cured me of Osteosarcoma (bone cancer)
      Please help raise awareness for this worthy cause!

      I love FreeRice!

      FreeRice is awesome- here's another great game that does trivia instead of vocab, and it benefits the environment instead of hunger:

      Ahhh thats amazing!

      94

      I love word games, and the fact that this one helps others made it all the better. And as for everyone bitching about you being behind the times and whatnot, who gives a shit? It's help, and help is appreciated whether it's early or late.

      By they way, for all you geniuses out there, it's "YOU'RE late" not "YOUR late". Learn how to write properly if you're going to be insulting.
