Improved Italian, Fed the Hungry

We found out the other day about a unique website through one of our kids' friends. It is called freerice.com and is run by the UN World Food Program. The game on the site is a series of multiple choice questions on various subjects- your choice. For each right answer the sponsors who donate will send 20 grains of rice to feed a hungry person somewhere. It doesn't take long for the 20 grains to add up (especially when you're on a roll!). The subjects range from English, Chemistry, multiplication, and geography to famous works of art and foreign languages, including Italian. So I can spend 10-15 min. a day working on vocabulary and help some needy folks at the same time! I can even familiarize myself with famous paintings/painters, which might be useful in an art outreach, and have some fun doing it! Hurray!!! (Heads up- Once you reach the highest level you just keep going, unless you make mistakes and then you drop. It doesn't really end, that I've noticed.) Check out the site. The UN isn't my favorite charity, by any means, but what I've read on the site so far looks pretty good. So here's the challenge- improve your mind and help someone out while doing it.
