Sunninghill helps to stop hunger
SUNNINGHILL - Sunninghill residents managed to pack 11 000 packages of food in just one hour at the Stop Hunger Now packaging event at Sunninghill Village.
Stop Hunger Now is an international hunger relief agency that has been fulfilling its commitment to end hunger around the world for more than 15 years. Since 1998 the organisation has coordinated the distribution of food and other lifesaving aid to children and families in countries all over the world.
In 2005 the organisation started its meal packaging programme which uses an assembly line process to package set quantities of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavouring mix containing 21 essential vitamins and minerals. They then work with international partners to ship and distribute the packaged meals in different countries that are in need.
The Sunningill Village packaging event had an incredible turnout of volunteers who donned hair nets and plastic gloves to package the food to be shipped out.
