Pledge “freericevocab”

"I will donate 300 grains of rice each day on freerice.com for the month of June but only if 50 other people will do the same."

— Tiffany Taylor

Deadline to sign up by: 30th June 2009
18 people signed up, 32 more were needed

More details
At www.freerice.com you can donate rice to help fight world hunger by answering questions about vocabulary, chemistry, geography, math, other languages, and many other subjects. 10 grains of rice are donated for each correct answer. By answering only 30 questions each day you can match my donation.

This will add up to 9,000 grains donated per person, and 459,000 all together. It takes 19,200 grains of rice to feed a person for a day. This donation will feed someone for 24 days. That's enough to save a life.

  • Doubling up for the week before you go on vacation or something of the sort is completely acceptable. I realize that as June goes on people will be hesitant to sign this pledge, thinking that it's too late to start! That's not true! You can just go a month from when you start, example: if you start on June 15, go through July 15, etc. You just have to start before the end of June to be a part of this pledge. Feel free to donate more than the minimum!
