Together With The World Food Programme We Can Make A Difference

Together With The World Food Programme We Can Make A Difference

*This Infographic comes from the World Food programme Website

 The World Food Programme is globally poised to provide food to populations most in need, and to be there when emergencies hit. Emergencies such as the drought in Somalia, hurricane Sandy or armed conflicts in Syria, all of which have caused communities to suffer severe food shortages.  Families around the world depend on the World Food Programme to be there when disaster strikes, and the donations we give provide life saving meals to those in need.  Feeling blessed after the past weeks holiday festivities with family, contributing to The World Food Programme is one of the ways I look forward to giving back in the New Year.

I wrote this post as part of The Global Team of 200, a highly specialized group of members of Mom Bloggers for Social Good that concentrates on issues involving women and girls, children, world hunger and maternal health.

Our Motto: Individually we are all powerful. Together we can change the world. We believe in the power of collective action to help others and believe in ourselves to make this world a better place for our children and the world’s children.

A Way Kids Can Hand Out Gifts Even If They Can Not Yet Read

A Way Kids Can Hand Out Gifts Even If They Can Not Yet Read

Kids love being the ones to hand out the gifts! Years back when our now teenagers were toddlers, my father-in-law came up with a great way to help them do so even though they could not yet read. He put a photo of  who the gift was for on each present and the kids were thrilled to be able to find each gift, and hand it to the proper recipient.  It is also a great way to use all those photos in a box that are not quite good enough for the albums.

Fruit Turkey Recipe

Fruit Turkey Recipe

I have brought this Fruit Turkey that I saw years ago in Family Fun Magazine into my kids classroom celebrations for Thanksgiving and it is always a huge hit!

You Need:

A melon with the bottom sliced off so it sits flat

A red pepper for the feet, feathers, and snood (the thing that hangs over the turkey’s beak)

A Bartlett Pear for the head

Craisins or Raisins for the eyes

Chunks of melon and red grapes for the tail feather  fruit kabobs

Wood skewers for the Kabobs and toothpicks to attach all else.

Gobble, Gobble!
