For the past 3 years I have been an Honorary Spokesperson for the UN World Food Program (WFP), which is the food-aid arm of the UN humanitarian forces./em/p pembr / Throughout my time as a volunteer, I have gotten to travel to 7 countries around the world (Guatemala, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Chad, Lesotho, Tanzania, and Honduras) that are all receiving food aid from WFP. The people I have met during my travels struggle each day to obtain one of the most basic human needs--food. It breaks my heart to think that every 5 seconds a child dies needlessly of hunger and malnutrition."/em/p/td /tr /table table width="100%" border="0" tr tdem"But the most hopeful thing I have seen during my travels is WFP's school feeding program, where kids are given a lunch meal in school each day. This is incentive enough for kids to attend school when they might not normally, and the meal is nutritious enough for kids to stay healthy and engaged in their studies. It is truly inspiring to see kids, who are born into extreme poverty, in school eager to learn and improve their lives!"/em/td tdimg src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/apparel/pages/DSC_0041.jpg" alt="." width="275" height="183" vspace="10" //td /tr /table table width="100%" border="0" tr tdimg src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/feedbag/images/IMG_0305_Detail.jpg" alt="World Food Programme FEED Bag" width="200" height="300" border="0" //td tdem"The FEED bag is a sturdy, reversible bag made out of natural burlap and cotton materials. The design of the bag was inspired by the big bags of food that I have seen being distributed to schools around the world. Besides being a cool bag, it is a tangible way to make a difference in the fight against child hunger. Every FEED bag sold will feed a child for a whole year in school!br / Thank you for your support of the FEED project! With your help we will be making a big difference in children's lives around the world, one child at a time. So wear your bag with pride!"/em/td /tr /table /body /html
