"A Billion for a Billion"

"A Billion for a Billion" is designed to make a link between the billion people who go hungry and the more than a billion people who are on the Internet. Did you know? "If everyone with plenty gave just $1.50 or Euro1 a week, those without food would have enough to eat," said WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran. To find out more, click here.
