Today we visited the World Food Program where we got to talk to one of the main assistants who gave us a brief lecture on the companny and how they are working hard to end world hunger. It was interesting to hear how the company was started and about all of the good that they have done over the past years. It was also interesting to hear that just our tiny little effort in playing the Free Rice game online (of course for a grade) could help out starving kids for ...
