Good morning. It is a privilege for me to address this distinguished gathering. Serving under Secretaries-General Kofi Annan and Ban Ki-moon as a UN Messenger of Peace for Hunger and Poverty has been one of the greatest honors of my life.In my first field visit for the World Food Programme six years ago, I went to the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. At that time, 5 million people in Malawi were facing starvation. I can only fit one of them into this speech. She was the first infant I met in this job.
