The Goal: To get the online billion to help feed the billion hungry people in the world.
The Results: Donations through the video helped to give school lunch to close to 140,000 children. To donate goto https://www.wfp.org/donate/1billion. See WFP's Executive Director Josette Sheeran special thank you message to the YouTube community.
Pierre Guillaume Wielezynski, WFP's Head of Online Communications, commented
"It is heartening to see the YouTube community step up and help. We often forget about the billion people who go to bed hungry. If every web user does a little, we can achieve a lot."
