Donate rice for free to Bangladesh's Sidr survivors

Many people are donating for the cyclone-affected peoples of Bangladesh.

Besides donating money directly, you can also donate rice indirectly for the poor people.

For this free rice donation, you don’t have to pay anything from your pocket. Just play an on-line vocabulary game and the rice would be donated from the site’s advertisers to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).

A portion of the rice will eventually come to Bangladesh because United Nations World Food Program (WFP) is providing foods for the cyclone effected peoples of Bangladesh.

Please visit: http://www.freerice.com to play the game and donate rice.
