Loralee Reach 245 Report post Posted October 14, 2010 World Food Day 16 October World Food Day was proclaimed in 1979 by the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It marks the date of the founding of FAO in 1945. The aim of the Day is to heighten public awareness of the world food problem and strengthen solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty. In 1980, the General Assembly endorsed observance of the Day in consideration of the fact that "food is a requisite for human survival and well-being and a fundamental human necessity" (resolution 35/70 of 5 December 1980). I really believe that contributing to causes like this one is an obligation out of solidarity. And It Starts at Home.....let's help our fellow Canadians...there are tons of Food Banks to drop a non-perishable item that will make someone less hungry. After our Canadian Brothers and Sisters are fed, we can go to another countries.... Hope to see you at the Food Bank or Kitchens (I like to volunteer and St. Joe is a great place to also offer your services, and help the wonderful volunteers there to feed others who can not afford it. (St Joe is on Laurier, almost accross Ottawa U) Bye for now LoraLee;-) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
