Million Meal Challenge

I recently attended a financial services conference in Vancouver.

During the 4 day meeting I was one of more than 2,300 volunteers who attempted to measure, fill and package one million life-saving meals for children and families suffering from malnutrition around the world.

I am pictured above, wearing a fetching hairnet (!), signing one of the filled boxes of food parcels ready to be shipped.

We all know that world hunger is an issue that can't be solved in a week, but it was great to be involved in an effort, working alongside hundreds of other people, from over 50 countries around the world, that contributed in a small way to assisting someone, somewhere.

I made an additional donation in the name of clients of Green Financial and that will be used to provide a further 400 meals for people in need in Haiti, India, Jamaica, the Philippines and Tanzania.

And the target of 1,000,000 meals was reached :-)
