Here is how you can feed a hungry child...

On a daily basis I am exposed to the consequences of malnourishment. If affects the growth and development of children minimising their potential for the future. I hate seeing a hungry child who is only a consequence to the circumstances that has been dealt for him/her. I am always torn in two when I stop at a traffic light and I'm confronted with a begging child. I don't want to give money as I don't know where or to who it is going to. So I drive around with food in my car and give that to them.

All of us can now make a difference and contribute to empowering and nurturing our youth of tomorrow. It will cost you nothing and requires minimal effort.

Last year during the Eat Out awards it was announced that they were partnering with Stop Hunger Now South Africa. At the event itself they raised enough money to pledge 778 meals!

Stop Hunger South Africa was established in 2009. They investigate and locate under resourced education and day centres and provide nutritional enriched meals to those in need. They operate on a volunteer basis and have two full time operations in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Their mission??? To end hunger in South Africa! Their program has an educational approach where they use food as leverage.  Learners, parents and educators are responsible to achieve certain outcomes. They are empowered and not only nutritionally enriched.

So how can YOU make a difference? For every review you post on the Eat Out website they will pledge one meal to a pre-school child. It will take you two minutes to feed a child. How easy is that????

Hop on over to Eat Out and start pledging ASAP

 

To date they have pledged 530 meals. Lets get them to a 1000 at least before February ends! I now pledge that for every review I write on my blog I will also review on the Eat Out website! I challenge all the other bloggers and my readers to do the same. I hope you will join me in this initiative so that our small 'spark' can result in a roaring fire!

YOU can help them!
