Menu for Hope [General]

2007 Dec 19
Menu for Hope is an annual fundraising event in support of the UN World Food Programme. Five years ago, the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia inspired me to find a way to help, and the very first Menu for Hope was born. In 2006, Menu for Hope raised US$60,925.12 to help the UN World Food Programme feed the hungry.

Each year, food bloggers from all over the world join forces to host the Menu for Hope online raffle, offering an array of delectable culinary prizes. For every US$10, the donor receive a virtual raffle ticket toward a prize of their choice.

All proceeds - minus 7% operating budget for WFP and 6% processing fees for Firstgiving - go to the school feeding program and support buying from local farmers in Lesotho, Southern Africa.

Hey, great effort flyfish!

Though wasn't the big tsunami 3 years ago? (I had a feeling of 'omigosh time flies' when I read 5 years, but then I googled it :-))
