Last May over 800,000 people walked in 118 countries and 420 locations worldwide in support of ending child hunger, with Scouts from several countries joining the march. Hundreds of hours of televised news coverage and thousands of stories in the print media brought the unnecessary suffering of children into sharp focus for a global audience uninformed about the desperate plight of many people around the globe.

It is a hope that you will join existing Walks in your location, or organize your own events. If you go to www.fighthunger.org and click onto the world map on the home page, you will be able to find information on Walks near you. If you don’t see one, read through the site and learn how to organize your own event.

Fight Hunger: Walk the World is a fun, educational, and meaningful activity. If you choose to raise funds, all resources will go to the WFP’s school food programs, which feed hungry children in schools in over 70 countries worldwide.

By logging onto www.fighthunger.org and joining a Walk or organizing your own, your chapter can make a tremendous difference in the life of a hungry child.
