Special Ambassador of the United Nations World Food Program for School Feeding
Agency’s Executive Board Meeting
Rome, Italy, October 11, 2004.

I am so very pleased to have Her Royal Highness act as an advocate for WFP school feeding programs. Her expertise in nutrition and her outstanding record of commitment to humanitarian causes will shine a spotlight on the plight of the world’s 300 million hungry children — 100 million of whom do not attend school.

School feeding is the best investment that can be made in a country’s future, and I am grateful to Her Royal Highness for bringing her excellent skills and admirable reputation to highlight the value of education and good nutrition for children.
