Africa: 'Zero Hunger - a World Without Hunger' Pictured By Child Artists

Rome — The design competition "Zero Hunger: A World Without Hunger," was open to any child around the world who benefits from a school feeding programme that involves WFP. Hundreds of children sent in their creative designs from 27 of the countries where WFP works. Sixteen winners were selected by an inter-divisional panel, including WFP's Executive Director Ertharin Cousin.

The 16 winning artworks will be featured in WFP's 2015 wall calendars and desk diaries, which are already available for pre-order from the merchandise site. "They make fantastic gifts," said Cristina Ascone, Head of Graphic Design and Publishing Unit, who has organized the contest for more than ten years. "It's a special chance for us to appreciate the talent and the spirit of the children who receive help from WFP."
