This award is created to recognize one class' efforts to feed the world by working together and playing Freerice. Each week, one class is selected from the Freerice website based on the number of grains they have collected and the information they have provided about their group. To be eligible for the award, make sure to sign in and register your group on the Freerice website!
This year on World Food Day, WFP staff members stepped out of the office and into schools. From Rome to Washington D.C., students heard first-hand what it is like on the front lines of the fight against hunger.
There are 925 million people in the world who don’t have enough food – that means that 1 in every 7 people go to bed hungry. And, hunger is still the #1 health risk in our world today, killing more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
So what can you do about it? More importantly, what can you as a teacher do about it?
Sixteen students decided to change the world. Their teachers decided they could do it. Find out how Freerice is not only changing the lives of those who receive food--it's transforming the lives of those who play.
