Free Rice for Lent?

Remember Free Rice, the non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme?  The goals of Free Rice are simple: 1) Provide education to everyone for free; 2) Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free. 

It's so easy to contribute!  Just go to the Free Rice website and answer questions in Humanities, English, Math, Chemistry or other subjects of your choosing.  For each correct answer, you make possible a donation of 10 grains of rice.  The more questions you answer correctly, the more grains of rice you donate to hungry people around the world. 

Are you wondering just what type of Lenten practice playing an online game suggests?  Consider this: The Son of Man coming in his glory and saying to you, "Come . . . inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me free rice."
