World Food Day – Napkin Squad Success!
World Food Day 2011 took place on October 16th. World Food Day is celebrated every year in hundreds of countries to create awareness of the extreme food crisis facing the world. World Food Day draws attention to the extremely damaging effects of hunger and poverty on development.
“Hunger is the world’s number one health risk. Globally, it kills more people each year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.” -UN World Food Programme, 2011.Almost 1 billion people globally are hungry, and more than 239 million of these people live in sub-Saharan Africa.
This year, CPAR celebrated World Food Day by raising awareness across Canada with the United Against Hunger in Africa campaign. Our dedicated Napkin Squad volunteers across Canada engaged their communities and informed thousands of Canadians through the distribution of awareness raising napkins to restaurants, coffee spots, school cafeterias, etc.
