Drew Barrymore
Actress Drew Barrymore, one of the world’s most recognized film stars, has been named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme.
Barrymore, 32, who recently returned from a second trip to Kenya to visit WFP-supported school feeding projects, joins world marathon record-holder Paul Tergat, from Kenya , as Ambassador Against Hunger.
Barrymore and Tergat, a former school feeding recipient, will focus their advocacy efforts on school feeding programs.
“I am honoured and humbled to accept this challenging and rewarding assignment,” Barrymore said Wednesday. “I can’t think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry.
“Feeding a child at school is such a simple thing – but it works miracles. I’ve seen it with my own eyes,” she added.
“School feeding not only fills stomachs, but has a proven track record of boosting enrollment, attendance and academic performance. For just pennies a day per child, this program changes lives – and ultimately can impact the futures of poor countries around the world in a profound way,” she said.
