What do you think if one day you are very hungry and have nothing to eat? What do you think if you can give rice to poor people around the world to help them? What do you think if you can do that by just playing game?
That true! you can do that by just playing game, a really simple game: guess the meaning of the English words!!! For each word you guess right, 20 grains will be donated to poor people. And imaging that if you play this game everyday, how many rice you will donate to the world? :D
