Hi all I have received an e mail from Maria DeCristofaro (Media Relations Officer of FAO Rome) in which she stated "
I am attaching our press release on the launch of the 1Billionhungry project aimed at drawing attention to the fact that the number of people suffering from the effects of hunger has, for the first time, exceeded 1 billion. The FAO Campaign is not only aimed at creating greater public awareness of this fact but will also attempt to put pressure on world leaders by asking people the world over to sign up to a petition calling for more to be done to combat hunger. 2010 is an important year in which to assess our progress towards reaching the Millenium Goals as set out by world leaders at the turn of the millennium. The UN General Assembly will discuss this at a special meeting on progress towards the fullfilment of the millennium goals in September. The FAO project is attempting to address the fact that much more needs to be done in the area of hunger abatement." You find this message at http://www.fao.org/news/newsroom-home/en/ Please lets sign this petition at *www.1billionhungry.org/maria/*<http://www.1billionhungry.org/maria/> Fr Ruffino Ezama, mccj
