"We were confronted with mass starvation on a gigantic scale. If order was to be preserved and wholesale death prevented, there was only one course of action possible"
In 1946 Herbert Hoover spoke these words following a visit to Japan. The reaction to these words resulted in national school feeding being implemented across Japan.
Subsequently n 1964 Senator George McGovern was able to say; "Japanese school children have been forced to install larger desks because the children of this generation are larger than their mothers and fathers".
The impact of a school meal is huge. It can change the trajectory of a country. It can change a life. By supporting Seibo you can help provide a better future for all.
School feeding carries many benefits- education, nutrition and health, gender equality, food security, poverty alleviation- in one single meal.
The world has been changed before by ensuring every hungry child in the world gets a hot meal at school- in Japan. Now is Malawi's time of need. Let's not wait for the above headline. |
