For the first time there will be over 1 billion people hungry. Every 60 seconds 10 children will die from hunger. The United Nations World Hunger Program has set up a website that quizzes on various subjects including English, Foreign Languages, Math, Geography, Art and Chemistry. Every time there is a correct answer ten grains of rice will be donated to a starving country. Starting on Wednesday morning in the Media Center you can go log on to a computer and help the hungry? To get a pass, go to the main office.
