GVN Newsletter: " Global Campaign 'Eat So They Can' Goes Live
What if I were to tell you that forty-five 747 Boeings filled with children crashed today?
This shocking statement thankfully is not true, but tragically, this is the equivalent of children who die every day from starvation - 18,000.
To help put an end to child poverty the GVN Foundation has launched a global fundraising campaign called 'Eat So They Can.' This is not another humanitarian campaign asking you to go without - there are already too many people suffering through want of food.
Rather, this campaign invites citizens of the world to participate in what will collectively be one huge dinner party; where something as simple as sharing a meal with friends can help stop child poverty.
On Saturday October 13 in celebration of World Food Day (October 16) the Foundation invites you to 'Eat So They Can' by hosting, or encouraging a friend to host a tasty meal. The money that each dinner party raises will be used to support our partner organizations in Kenya to help them provide orphaned children with the essentials for survival.
It promises to be a day full of chances: the chance to discuss issues facing the poorest children around the world, the chance to take action, the chance to spend time with loved ones - the chance to make a difference.
If 10 people were a global representation: 2 would eat a satisfying meal, 2 would eat beans; and 6 would stand in a food queue... In this world, no child should have to go without food. Not even one.
Please take a seat at our global dinner table, visit the website, and sign up today. We need all of you to make this happen. Will you eat so they can?
