The WWFF Chapter at UNC had a successful event on November
14th, 2013.
The UNC chapter set up a room in the Campus Y at UNC's campus
for a dialogue. Three tables were
set up: one for discussions about the medical and global aspects of
malnutrition, another for discussions about the general background of
malnutrition, and a third table with donated food from Mediterranean Deli. Everyone grabbed a plate of food and
the officers dispersed across the two tables that the students split up.
In the discussion, interesting questions and conversations
arose, and one question asked a couple of times was "Don't some of the
children have peanut allergies?" Persia Homesley, the Co-Executive Director of the UNC
chapter, told the students that a lot of children in other parts of the world
don't have peanut allergies like many children in America do. The students and leaders discussed this
topic a bit more, also talking about how our environment shapes who we
become. After about twenty
minutes, the students switched over to another table, where Persia discussed
with a new group of students along with Ashley, our Volunteer Coordinator, and
Emma, the other co-executive director of WWFF. The event went on for about a total of an hour and a few
students stayed after to talk to the different officers while we closed
up. It was great event for
educating others more on malnutrition as well as on what Will Work For Food
works toward!
Great job UNC, keep up the great work!
