The SDC works with DJ Bobo to fight hunger in the world
In 2006, the World Food Programme (WFP) appointed DJ Bobo as Ambassador Against Hunger. Since then, DJ Bobo has been actively raising public awareness in Switzerland and collecting funds for this cause. As part of his campaign, he has invited Swiss school children to take part in the online quiz “FreeRice”, which runs until 31 March 2012. Through playing “FreeRice” they can make their contribution to the fight against hunger in the world.
