He might be making a little, but I don’t think quite that much. He has to pay for the rice, transportation, servers, maintaining the site (because I’m sure he doesn’t do it all by himself with so much traffic) maybe he has to pay for additional programming help, maybe not, but there are tons of outside variables he has to pay for to make this work, it would be irrational to believe that all the money went purely into purchasing rice.

I don’t think people who will starving with hunger will care how “bad” the rice tastes.

In my opinion, FreeRice is a great way for EVERYBODY to get in on helping hunger – even and especially those of us who are hit hard by the recession and don’t ahve enough money to make large donations to charity. Even four-year-olds who don’t get allowances can play the easiest levels with their parents, help kids in Africa, learn new words, and have fun – if anything, have fun. :)

But for those of us who don’t have the money available to be able to donate large enough amounts of money that would end up being useful, this is a great website where ANYONE can help – even four year olds who don’t get allowances.

It’s absolutely worth it! I have donated around 10,000 grains of rice in just a few days. Admittedly; I have the time. I am bed-ridden and ill, so I have A LOT of time on my hands, with few options on how to spend it (due to my condition).

It is not a difficult program at all. I get up to level 60 and stay up there. I just research the word in an online dictionary if I don’t know it, or if it’s not in there, I research Google.

Is using an online dictionary (and occasionally Google) cheating? I think not, especially when you learn the word after a couple of times around anyway. I can do the French easily too, and score a lot of rice quickly that way. They have several good online French dictionaries. I’m a little slower at the Spanish. At worst; I’m learning new vocabulary words, at best I’m helping make this world a little bit better place (I like to hope for the best, it’s in my nature).

There are also other educational programs to choose from other than Vocabulary. I spend many computer hours working on other causes and charities, but this is definitely one of the most addictive AND educational (LOL).

Of course you should! This man had an idea that provided rice worth of $1 mil.! I’d find it wrong if he didn’t get anything.
