Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide will walk together over a 24-hour period in each of the planet’s time zones, to deliver a message: child hunger has no place in this world and citizens across the globe can put an end to it. The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) together with its major corporate partners, TNT [part of TPG] and Unilever, are teaming up...to “Fight Hunger: Walk the World”...Funds raised through Walk the World will go to WFP’s Global School Feeding Programme. “...even the smallest contribution can help make a huge difference,” said Peter Bakker, CEO of TNT (global leader in mail and express delivery) and the initiator of Walk the World in 2003...Hunger is the greatest threat to health worldwide.
