rice & water

Seen this yet: FreeRice.com? Came across this site today, as recommended by another blogger. How are your vocabulary skills? After a bit, I've gotten to level 34 and donated 1200 grains of rice. I wonder if that's at least a pound?
How about this: FreePoverty.com? This one gives away cups of water. I only got up to 50 cups of water and pretty much bombed once I got to the 2nd level! I must admit, though, I did better then I expected. My world geography skills are lacking.
Seems as though these have been around for awhile and I'm way behind, but hey, in case anyone else is in the dark as I was, check them out. Come back and tell me how you did...

update: Tom recommended another: Free Charity, which donates water as well. Give it a shot. It gives clues like you'd find with a crossword puzzle.

Freerice is great! They just recently added new subjects that you can learn, such as Spanish and Art.

The interactive map in freepoverty is very cool. I like what people are doing with these charity game sites.

What do you think about Charitii.com?

Thanks, Tom. Just tried it out. It's harder, in my opinion. I'm not too good at crossword puzzles! But, I got up to 40 oz. in a few mins.
