Today is the 6th and final day of “6 Degrees of Freerice” – the theme of our first official and annual World Freerice Week! Thanks to you and your network, people who haven’t played Freerice before are joining forces with us and “riceing up” against hunger! Our community really responded to the challenge to recruit six friends, and have those friends recruit six additional friends, etc. The results have been amazing.

If you regularly read the Freerice blog, you’ll most likely already know this – if not, you need to: 1 in 7 people worldwide goes to bed hungry every night. And now, with nearly 7 billion people in the world, this means that almost 1 billion people are not getting the food they need today.

Where is Timbuktu? Where would you find Persepolis today? Where is Stonehenge? If you're not sure of the answer to any of these questions, you will want to play the new Freerice subject, "World Landmarks".

Today might be the best Monday you’ve had in a long time. Why? It's the first day of our first (ever) official World Freerice Week that will take place at the beginning of February every year.
