Advocacies are as much a part of life as the food that we eat, the air that we breathe, the career that we pursue, the family that we belong to or even the person we choose to spend our life with. The fight against hunger is one advocacy that's worthy of undertaking and promoting. Hunger is such a pressing issue in today's world. We can never deny the fact that every day, more and more people are experiencing hunger, some of them even die because of it. When I got invited by my blogger friend Flow Galindez (who happens to be a WFP advocate) to the World Food Programme's (WFP) End Hunger: Walk the World 2011 blogger's launch last May 11, all I wanted was to go and be part of it.



The bloggers' launch was held at Pizza Hut-Park Square. This is where we got briefed about what's happening on May 29. There was also an open forum that allowed us bloggers to ask questions.



The WFP End Hunger: Walk the World 2011, I have found out, is a walking event for a cause which will be held at the Mall of Asia on May 29, 2011. This is in partnership with TNT (a leading international shipping company), Unilever Philippines, Pizza Hut Philippines and many other sponsors.

For this event, WFP aims to make more people aware of the critical issue called child hunger and malnutrition and at the same time, raise funds for WFP's school feeding activities. The beneficiaries of this notable event (which will be held simultaneously in several countries around the world) are very close to our hearts -- the children of Mindanao. WFP has an Emergency School Feeding program in conflict-affected areas of Central Mindanao that has been established for years now.
