Menu For Hope

The fourth annual Menu For Hope fundraiser has begun!

Menu For Hope, which is hosted by Pim of Chez Pim, is in support of the UN's World Food Programme and this year funds raised will go towards a school lunch program in Lesotho.

The program aims to encourage children to go to school and also strengthens their ability to learn.

Thanks so much for the mention! It's very kind of you. I hope that folks do bid on my prize (UE21) and help those kids in Africa.

Glad to see others supporting the cause even if they didn't donate! I wish I knew about it earlier so Chew on That could have done a prize, but we definitely donated. Great cause!
