A site went up on October 7 called https://freerice.com. Through a word
game, they donate 10 grains of rice through the UN for every correct answer.
The game itself is quite interesting, and the idea of course is brilliant.
A haven for word aficionados with any concerns about world hunger.

Do they send rice to Africa or do they help small African farmers to grow rice and encourage the local economy?

The Africa Rice Center in Benin is a good source of information about rice cultivation in Africa.

there is a word and a choice of definitions from which you pick one, and it seemed like the more you got correct the more obscure the words would become...excellent vocabulary builder. Cute to see my time passing as grains of rice for someone....wish it were more and hope it is so.......mindy
