Walk the world

the 1st of June, WFP organises the walk the world. This is a relay
walk, 5 km on each city, all around the globe in 24 time zones. The
objective is to fundraise money for the feeding program. In Malawi for
example, nearly 70% of children go to school without eating breakfast,
for lack of food at home. WFP provides food to the schools so that the
children can have a portion of maize porridge. This is an amazing
logistic challenge, since some of the schools are in really isolated
places.

It costs only 25 US cents to feed a child a day, 50 dollars per year!
You can participate in a walk near your home and funraise money, or
make a donation! You can find the walk closest to you here http://www.movingtheworld.org/walktheworld
