It is not new in Dubai as The American School of Dubai does it in its premises every year to comemorize the World Food Day and show compassion with the hungry children in other schools where they go to school empty stomach.

I would like to invite all of EIS Jumeirah students to contribute to this action:

One day of our school days (date to be announced later), we will serve at the cafeteria only rice and the money you would have spent on your meal that same day, will be gathered and given to WFP for feeding the hungry children.

I will contact you at least one week n advance through the school Communicator to let you know the date. It will be sometime in November.

WFP’s Approach• Ensuring school-aged children are well nourished builds on the gains made in the crucial 1000 days from conception to two years of age.• School feeding can contribute to having healthy andwell-educated children if there are also teachers, textboo0ksand an environment conducive to learning.• WFP works with governments to allow them to continue WFP-funded programmes themselves and to create and runtheir own sustainable school meal programmes.• Over the past 45 years, 38 countries have taken over schoolmeal programmes from WFP. The last country to take overa WFP school meal programme was El Salvador in 2013. Basic Facts• Studies show it is more difficult for children to learn without adequate food and nutrition.• There are 66 million primary school-age children whoattend classes hungry across the developing world, with23 million in Africa alone.• A daily school meal provides a strong incentive to sendchildren to school and keep them there. Poor households must often choose between sending their children to school or to work the fields.• Just US$0.25 will fill a cup with porridge, rice or beans andgive a monthly ration to take home. With US$50 a child can be fed for an entire school year.• WFP calculates that US$3.2 billion is needed per year toreach all 66 million hungry school-age children. Of this,US$1.2 billion would allow WFP to reach 23 million children in Africa.

What are WFP School Meals?
• In-school meals. Children are fed breakfast, lunch or both in school. Meals can be prepared at the school, in the community or be delivered from centralized kitchens.
Some programmes provide complete meals, others provide high-energy biscuits or nutritious snacks, such as date bars.
• Take-home rations. Entire families receive food, provided their children attend school regularly. The rations’ value compensates for the costs of sending the child to school. For particularly vulnerable students, in-school meals can be combined with take-home rations for greater impact.
• As far as possible, food is procured locally in developing countries, which in turn benefits local development efforts and small farmers.

Why School Meals?
• Education. School meals encourage poor households to send children to school and keep them there.
Programmes often target girls, enabling them to gain an education even in societies that traditionally exclude them from schooling.
• Social Protection. School meals can break the cycle of hunger, poverty and child exploitation in the world’s poorest areas. They can also reach children affected by HIV/AIDS, orphans, the disabled and former child soldiers.
• Nutrition. When combined with deworming and micronutrient fortification school meals offer important nutritional benefits.
• Supplementary benefits. Schools are the centre of
many villages and communities. School meals connect teachers, parents, cooks and children.
• Local agriculture. Linking small scale farmers to school feeding programmes helps support rural economies and make programmes more sustainable.

WFP’s Presence
• In 2012, WFP provided school meals to 24.7 million children in 60 countries:
This included take-home rations for 1.3 million girls and 500,000 boys; and this also included 2.74 million children supported through the trust funds of national governments.

Hunger kills more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. 842 million people in the world do not have enough to eat. This number has fallen by 156 million since 1990. The vast majority of hungry people (827 million) live in developing countries, where 14.3 percent of the population is undernourished.   One in four of the world's children are stunted.   WFP calculates that US$3.2 billion is needed per year to reach all 66million hungry school-age children.

We know students want help WFP fight hunger, but we also know donating 
money isn’t always realistic. Luckily, WFP has several ways to help 
fight hunger that don’t cost anything.
