Mother's Day - Help a mother in developing nations

http://wall.wfp.org/

May 10, 2009

Objective:
Mothers in developing nations are often last to eat, despite producing most of the food! This Mother's Day let's help a mom feed her child.

Word of mouth can be a powerful tool in the fight against hunger!

Telling people about the daily life faced by mothers in developing nations not only raises awareness but gives others the opportunity to change the status quo.

To talk about the issue, you can find information here: www.wfp.org/bloggers-against-hunger

Instead of giving a traditional Hallmark card, it would be great if they could add an ecard to the Wall Against Hunger: wall.wfp.org

It allows you to share you message with the world, as well as helping a mother feed her child.

Many thanks to everyone who's blogged and tweeted and talked about the event! We're almost at Mother's Day and the support has been phenomenal.

While the amount raised will help a great many people, the amount awareness raised of hunger and women in developing nations will have long lasting benefits!
