FREE RICE is a word game
You have to find the proper synonym with a word among 4 answers.

>>> UNITED NATIONS
The more you answer (right !), the more rice you can give. The faster you play, the more rice these people can get... 82,992,737,250 (nearly 83 billion !) grains of rice have been earned today. That is enough to feed more than 4.3 million people for one day ! Besides, it's a nice way of practising, and you will improve your vocabulary !

A few facts and figures on hunger :
Should we design the world as a 100-people village...
- 24 of them would lack electricity ;
- 25 would lack safe water in their homes (or close to them) ;-
- 32 could not breathe clean air ;
- no sanitary facilities for 40 of them.
What about food ?
- 50 of them are hungry some or all of the time because they lack a reliable source of food ;
- 20 are severely malnourished all the time ;
Only 30 inhabitants have enough to eat
in this world village !
In 2010 there are 1.02 billion hungry people (= 15 % of the world population -approximately 6.8 billion). By 2050 food production needs to increase by 70 % to feed the estimated world population of 9 billion people...
and today is WORLD HUNGER DAY.

BANKSY TARGETS THE SIMPSONS
On October 21, the latest Simpsons episode will show an intro
created by Banksy :
"It's the first time an artist has been invited to storyboard part of the show and when you see it, you'll be shocked that he made it past the network executives. Amazing, quite dark, and incredibly complex." WoosterCollective says... and they're dead right !
ARTICLES :
from the BBCnews :
"Banksy creates new Simpsons title sequence"
from the Guardian (October 11) :
"Banksy takes Simpsons into sweatshop"
Watch ITV short report - Though the picture is identical...
the video is different :-)
The transcript is in the red folder -click !
Actually the artist had already sprayed a parody of the Simpsons : 
updated March 29, 2011
In conclusion, here is an 08'03" video I found on YouTube channel. Actually it is rather a slide show which displays numerous spray paintings and graffiti he made in many countries. I hope you'll like them -I think they're worth watching :-)
Well... this short trip throughout Banksy's sprayed art and ideas is over... for now ! I hope you've enjoyed it and you'll find these websources useful : don't hesitate to send your feedback in a comment :o)

The Instant Kiwi TV ad
was released in 1999.
This commercial arouses laughter anywhere exams are held :o)
The ad illustrates the NZ Lotteries Board "Instant Kiwi" : in September 1989, the New Zealand Lottery Board introduced the game, which caused instant laughter. The TV ad is aimed at 18 -year olds, like the students in this brief story. Here the main character is a student who eventually proves to be far smarter than the teacher :o)
The game is called "Instant Kiwi" because you know if you are the winner not even 1 minute after buying the ticket !
It consists of a card with nine squares on it : punters scratch off 3 squares of their choice. If the 3 are identical, the punter wins that amount of money.
