Thursday, 10 May 2007
Drew Barrymore has been made a UN Ambassador Against Hunger.
The 32-year-old actress said she was humbled to be approached by the United Nations to work as a spokesperson for the organisation's World Food Programme (WFP).
'I am honoured and humbled,' she said at a press conference. 'I can't think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry."
The actress has just returned from Kenya, where she toured WFP school meal projects.
'Feeding a child at school is such a simple thing - but it works miracles,' she says.
'For just pennies a day per child, this programme changes lives - and ultimately can impact the futures of poor countries around the world in a profound way.'
