Improving your vocabulary while helping someone 
What writer worthy of the title doesn’t want to do the former? And the latter isn’t a bad goal for anyone, writer or not, to aspire to. Well, you can do both at FreeRice.com.
When you hit the site, you’re presented with a word and four definitions. Choose the right definition, and you donate 20 grains of rice to the World Food Programme. You can read more about how this works here.
What’s neat about FreeRice.com is that every time you choose the right definition for a word, the next word becomes more difficult. Did you know that semibreve means a whole musical note?
For the word lover (and what writer isn’t), the site is quite addictive. I tend to limit myself to donating 1,000 grains of rice per session. If I didn’t, I’d be there all day and never get anything done!
