One more day!
Only a day to go till Mother's Day, and we've already raised $9 900 through the Wall Against Hunger: wall.wfp.org
Mother's in developing nations are often last to eat, saving their food for their children. Over 60% of chronically hungry people in the world – around 580 million people – are women!
All the donation go to helping mother's in developing nations feed and educate their children, through the UN World Food Programme's School Meals project!
Thanks so very much to everyone who's participated! The response has been so encouraging!
(There's one more day, it not too late to tell your neighbor, friends and anyone else.)
2 Days and we're up to $7 900
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!
Keep it going! Thank you!
3 Days!
Thanks so much to everyone who's been tweeting about this event and telling others!
We recently added a video from the actress Rachel Weisz, talking about the inheritance of hunger, which is definitely worth a peek.

4 Days and Counting!
Thanks so much for everyone who's joined - word of mouth can be a phenomenally powerful tool. Tell your friends, family and absolute strangers about the other side to Mother's Day!
So far we've managed to raise almost $6 000! Many thanks for all your support!
It's only 5 Days to go!
So far around $5000 has been raised, and there only five days to go! (Mother's Day is on May 10, not 11!)
Short notice, but let's tell people about it and get the word out QUICKLY!

Mother's Day - Help a mother in developing nations
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: http://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: http://wall.wfp.org It allows you to share you message with the world, as well as helping a mother feed her child.
Thanks so much - it was a great turnout!

Thank you to everyone who took time tell others about the Mother's Day Wall Against Hunger! And everyone, who took it a step further and placed a card on the wall.
We managed to raise a resounding $15 200, that goes to helping a mother feed her child through the World Food Programmes School Meals.
