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.
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.)
