Feb 23, 2010 The World Food Programme is teaming up with Ticketmaster to help prevent hunger across the recently devastated areas of Haiti. When you buy tickets using Ticketmaster from February 2 - 28, check the optional $5 donation box to send food to families who have lost everything.

In addition to losing loved ones and their homes, almost all families in the quake-stricken areas are still battling a lingering hunger. Help WFP, the leading agency of hunger relief in Haiti, to put an end to this battle.

I WENT HUNGRY is a global music industry initiative started by the legendary reggae band the Wailers to help eradicate hunger. Food is a human right.

The band decided to put their empathy into action upon learning that every 6 seconds a child dies of hunger, so they are enlisting their fellow musicians to go hungry by donating a portion of their tour catering to the I WENT HUNGRY campaign.

We invite our fans, fellow musicians, athletes, electricians, actors, artists, CEO's, students, mothers, fathers, and all our brethren and sistren in declaring I WENT HUNGRY! This is something that we can all impact. This is a stage that everyone can perform on. There IS enough food in the world to feed EVERYONE! 100% of all donations are being given to the World Food Program (WFP).

Here is how YOU can help: WFP is calling for a billion global citizens who have enough food to eat to take action to help feed the billion people on the planet who go to bed hungry each night.





The Billion for a Billion campaign, the first ever global citizens' campaign to end hunger, is aimed especially at the billion internet users in the world. It is based on the idea that many people doing a little can shift mountains -- or, in this case, help eradicate hunger.

As well as donating, YOU can also help fight hunger by spreading the word, using the multiple tools available to web users today.

It could be as simple as posting the Billion for a Billion video on your Facebook page or tweeting to a friend the fact that a child dies every 6 seconds of hunger-related causes.

Jan 22, 2010 Recently the Late Show with David Letterman featured spokesperson, Bettina Luescher of the World Food Programme (WFP). The following clip from the Late Show 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.
