Today we walked the world.
Walking the World is an event to raise awarness of hunger in the world. It takes place every year and people walk in each time zone of the world.Starting at 13.00 by the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam, we walked 5 kilometers. The 5 kilometers were representative of the fact that every 5 seconds a child dies of hunger. In total 18,000 children die every day. So to raise some awarness, we joined the event organized by the World Food Program, and supported by TNT and Unilever, and walked together with 2498 other people the 5 kilometers. True, it was cloudy, but what can you expect from the Netherlands. . .
If you didnt walk this year dont forget to:
