“Collective action across 150 countries is what makes World Food Day one of the most celebrated days on the UN calendar. Hundreds of events and outreach activities bring together governments, businesses, NGOs, the media, and general public. They promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure healthy diets for all,” said Zero2Five’s Julika Falconer.
Once the sandwiches are made, they will be donated to several ECD centres and orphan care facilities in the Upper Highway area.
