World Food Day

October 16 is World Food Day.

I personally like and have donated to this program:
World Food Program.

WFP school meals encourage hungry children to attend school and help them concentrate on their studies. There are approximately 400 million children chronically hungry children in the world. One hundred million of them do not attend school, and two thirds of those not attending school are girls. WFP's school feeding formula is simple: food attracts hungry children to school. An education broadens their options, helping to lift them out of poverty.
