Students And Teachers

Teachers and students are especially important to WFP because the more people learn about hunger, the more likely it is that the problem will be solved.

It’s been three weeks since the disastrous earthquake in Haiti, and WFP has distributed food assistance to about 850,000 people. The operation will continue until the end of 2010, and the intensified strategy will now likely require more than $800 million to complete. With a new distribution system in place, WFP aims to reach two million people with a 25 kg rice ration within two weeks. Beneficiaries will receive coupons which they can then trade for rice on a designated day.
There’s something I have to confess – I haven’t donated to Haiti yet. It’s the fourth week of my internship, and I’ve spent most of it urging others to do exactly what I haven’t done myself.
My job requires e-mailing schools to inform them of “Students Helping Haiti” and how crucial their support is to the lives of the earthquake victims. On my Facebook page, I asked for others to realize the need for help. I’ve e-mailed my university, getting them on-board with the cause.
