Recently the Late Show with David Letterman featured spokesperson, Bettina Luescher of the World Food Programme (WFP). Click the following link to view a clip from the Late Show, which gives a brief background into the origin of WFP as well as the recent obstacles that have prevented the organization from being able to meet the increasing demand for food in over 70 different countries including Darfur, Somalia, Pakistan and the recently devastated Haiti.

I Went Hungry is a collaborative project with WFP that was started by the legendary reggae band the Wailers to help eradicate hunger. The I Went Hungry campaign encourages musicians, businesspeople, students and families around the world to give up one of their daily snacks or meals and instead declare I WENT HUNGRY and donate that money to feed someone else in need.

After the January 12th earthquake and subsequent aftershocks that took place in Haiti, the WFP and I Went Hungry are asking you to go hungry to benefit the people of Haiti. By clicking the image below, you will be redirected to the Friends of the World Food Programme website where you can donate to the direct relief fund for Haiti.
