Rebuilding One House At A Time With WFP

Last month we shared scenes of destruction from Tropical Storm Washi that ravaged southern Philippines.

This time we are happy to share that the survivors are rebuilding their homes and WFP is helping make that happen. By providing food as incentive for the community members to work on their houses, WFP is supporting the Philippine Government’s relocation shelter project in Sta. Elena Village, Iligan City where approximately 1,700 houses — such as the one in the photo — will be built.

Showing full solidarity with the survivors at the relocation site’s groundbreaking ceremony are (L-R): WFP Philippines Country Director and Representative Stephen Anderson, WFP Asia Regional Director Kenro Oshidari, WFP Philippines-Iligan Sub-Office Head Baicon Macaraya, WFP Ambassador Against Hunger KC Concepcion, Philippine Vice-President Jejomar Binay, Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dinky Soliman and Philippine President Benigno Aquino III.

The High-level Panel on Global Sustainability presented its report on 30 January 2012 in Addis Ababa.

The 22-member Panel, established by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in August 2010 to formulate a new blueprint for sustainable development and low-carbon prosperity, was co-chaired by Finnish President Tarja Halonen and South African President Jacob Zuma.

The Panel’s final report, “Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing,” contains 56 recommendations to put sustainable development into practice and to mainstream it into economic policy as quickly as possible.

On October 31st, when the world’s population reached 7 Billion people, Australian multiculutral broadcaster SBS launched an initiative called, “Seven Billion Stories and counting…” The campaign had a unique positive focus by examining the importance of the world’s seven billionth story, and highlighting humanity’s great potential. Check out SBS’s “The Seven Billionth Story” to see why TED recognized it as an “Ad Worth Spreading.”

Can you imagine cooking for 500 children five times a week? These women do.

Why? Because they believe in laying the foundation for a hunger-free future.

These cooks, who are also parents of children in Tharanikulam Ganesh school in Vavunya, Sri Lanka, prepare healthy WFP school meals for 500 students everyday of the week. By cooking in this school, they also receive take-home WFP food assistance for their families, while their children enjoy attending their classes on a full stomach.

Now that’s what we call supportive moms.

Every year, deforestation, hunting and illegal trade push orangutans closer to extinction. If we don’t act now orangutans will soon vanish forever.

The UN Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP) is teaming up with International Animal Rescue (IAR) and football star Carles Puyol to raise awareness and funds. If we ACT NOW, it might not be too late. Learn more about how you can help!
