Women and children are particularly affected\u00a0 in disaster areas. Soroptimists are committed to improving the lives of women and girls worldwide so this was an ideal project\u00a0 for us. We were grateful to Rotary for organising the event.<\/h2>\n<h2>If you would like to join us or know more about our work <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/grange-over-sands\/contact-us\/\">CONTACT US<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rise Against Hunger is a charity which aims to provide sustainable food solutions to those unable to do so for themselves. In many parts of the developing world, agriculture is a skill that is either lost or has never been developed.\u00a0 RAH provides the needed fortified meals to schoolchildren who would otherwise have nothing to eat, in areas where there is absolutely nothing &#8211; no farming, no equipment, and nobody to provide for them.\u00a0 Approximately 21,000 people perish every day from hunger and malnutrition, and there are 821 million people on our earth suffering from a lack of food.<\/p>\n<p>Eleven Club members took part in this event to pack 60,000 nutritious meals in just four hours.\u00a0 The event was organised by the Grange Rotary Club, under the auspices of the \u2018Rise against Hunger\u2019 charity.\u00a0 Held in Cartmel Priory Secondary school, the day was split into two sessions, morning and afternoon, with 140 folk in the morning and 120 in the afternoon.\u00a0 They came from across the local community and included Rotarians from other clubs in their District.<\/p>\n<p>The event was extremely well organised, and the atmosphere was electric.\u00a0 We were welcomed by Nigel McCulloch, the current President of Grange Rotary, and by a Director of the Charity who had travelled from Italy.\u00a0 He explained its history and stressed that its aim is to end hunger by 2030; it addresses the first five of the UN sustainable goals.\u00a0 We were shown an excellent &#8220;the girl effect&#8221;\u00a0 video presentation showing empowerment of women through education.<\/p>\n<p>The room was laid out in factory conditions, and we all took our places, with our hands sanitised and wearing gloves and hairnets.\u00a0 The Mayor of Grange, Peter Endsor, sounded the gong, and the work began too a background of loud pop music.\u00a0 The meals consisted of rice, soy and vegetables, fortified with 23 vitamins and minerals.\u00a0 Each bag was labelled and filled, then weighed and sealed before being packed in boxes ready to be transported to the docks.\u00a0 Whenever the number packed reached a multiple of 2000 someone was chosen to sound the gong, and two of our members had that honour!<\/p>\n<p>The 60,000 meals represented one meal per day for each student at Cartmel School, and were destined for some part of Africa, probably Malawi, where they will feed 230 children each day for one school year.\u00a0 The boxes were numbered so that we will be able to track their final destination.<\/p>\n<p>A plea had also been given for contribution for the local foodbank in Barrow, and it was good to see that there was a substantial collection for those who are in need within our own community.<\/p>\n<p>We all agreed that it had been a very worthwhile day, and we had been privileged to have been part of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 Club members packed meals for the Rise Against Hunger event\u00a0 held on April 13th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":371,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[24,20,21],"class_list":["post-2907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news","tag-girl-effect","tag-rise-against-hunger","tag-world-hunger"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How did Grange Soroptimists help in the fight against world hunger? | News | Blog | Events | SI Grange over Sands<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Grange over Sands : Blog &amp; News : How did Grange Soroptimists help in the fight against world hunger? : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Grange over Sands .
