One Bag = One Fed Child




Finally, my bag obsession can do some good for the world.

World Food Programme Feed Bag Fast Facts...

- Buying one World Food Programme FEED bag feeds a child in school for one school year.
- School feeding acts as a magnet, dramatically increasing enrollment, sometimes by as much as 100 percent. It also improves performance at school; children concentrate better on a full stomach. Girls who go to school not only marry later but have half as many children than illiterate women. Furthermore, these children are healthier and better educated.
- 19 cents a day or 34 dollars a year can transform a child's life and provide the tools for a lifetime of self-reliance. School feeding is a simple but effective way to beat hunger and poverty.
- The FEED Project is a partnership between the United Nations World Food Program and Lauren Bush, WFP Honorary Spokesperson.
- Reversible!
- $60.00 at Amazon.com (doesn't ship until mid-July)


I ordered several and am using them for gifts for everyone I know.
