Firefox has been downloaded more then half a billion times! Good new for Mozilla of course. :party: They are celebrating this by raising 500.000.000 grains of rice in one day (or so was the plan). Whether or not this plan succeeded, we don't know. But you can still help out! These grains of rice will go to the poor and hungry of the world and support the United Nations World Food Program. The good news is, everyone can participate. And this offer doesn't count for just one day.
Just go to freerice.com and play the game. You have to click on the answer which defines the word shown best. Each time you give a good answer, 20 grains of rice are donated. At the same time, you are also improving your own knowledge of the English language! During the game, the difficulty increases if you give correct answers. Luckily for some of you, the difficulty goes down if you keep on giving wrong answers as well!
