SAVING LIVES
According to RWDmag.com, UK pop star Jamelia is lending a helping hand to help feed some of the poorest children around the world. The School Food Trust and WFP (UN World Food Programme) will together lead the Really Good School Dinner from the 26th to 30th January 09. During the assigned week, school children will be asked to donate 10p each time they have a school meal, providing meals for children in countries like Kenya, Cambodia and Zambia (to name a few). When being interviewed by RWD about her role in the project, the singer said ‘I have two daughters so I know what healthy food they have access to everyday at school and this project will allow my daughters and children across the country to help kids throughout the world to eat everyday too. This campaign brings that home because by donating an extra 10p, when children empty their own plate in England they will be helping fill another in the developing world’.
