Untitled Document Your purchase of the World Food Programme FEED bag feeds one child in school for one school year. School feeding acts as a magnet, dramatically increasing enrollment, sometimes by as much as 100 percent, and also improves performance at school; children concentrate better on a full stomach.
Girls who go to school not only marry later, but have half as many children than illiterate women, and their children are healthier and better educated. School feeding is a simple but effective way to beat hunger and poverty and can help transform a child's life by providing the tools for self-reliance. The FEED Project is a partnership between the United Nations World Food Program and Lauren Bush, WFP Honorary Spokesperson. | | Lauren Bush Honorary Spokesperson for the UN World Food Programme | "FEED is a project I initiated to help fight child hunger. For the past 3 years I have been an Honorary Spokesperson for the UN World Food Program (WFP), which is the food-aid arm of the UN humanitarian forces.
Throughout my time as a volunteer, I have gotten to travel to 7 countries around the world (Guatemala, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Chad, Lesotho, Tanzania, and Honduras) that are all receiving food aid from WFP. The people I have met during my travels struggle each day to obtain one of the most basic human needs--food. It breaks my heart to think that every 5 seconds a child dies needlessly of hunger and malnutrition."
| | "But the most hopeful thing I have seen during my travels is WFP's school feeding program, where kids are given a lunch meal in school each day. This is incentive enough for kids to attend school when they might not normally, and the meal is nutritious enough for kids to stay healthy and engaged in their studies. It is truly inspiring to see kids, who are born into extreme poverty, in school eager to learn and improve their lives!" |  |  | "The FEED bag is a sturdy, reversible bag made out of natural burlap and cotton materials. The design of the bag was inspired by the big bags of food that I have seen being distributed to schools around the world. Besides being a cool bag, it is a tangible way to make a difference in the fight against child hunger. Every FEED bag sold will feed a child for a whole year in school!
Thank you for your support of the FEED project! With your help we will be making a big difference in children's lives around the world, one child at a time. So wear your bag with pride!" |

 feed bag August 6, 2010

The "feed bag" my daughter used for a year we got the idea from a magazine that if you bought this bag
it would help children with suplies in a 3rd world country's
when we first got the bag and opened it ...its kinda smelly burlap ,,, it goes away ......lots of room for books
and laptop very natural goes with everything
I love this bag!!! March 29, 2010

I don't think I have ever had a bag that SO many people have asked me about. At work, church, even at restaurants, people will stop me and ask me about it. It has so much room in it. I can get everything I need to carry in it with absolutely no problem and still have room for other stuff. It would make a great grocery bag as well since you can get a lot into it. The only thing I wish is that it had SOME kind of closure on the top. Even just a magnetic closure would be great. It is just a personal thing but I don't like my bag sitting open. Other than that, it is wonderful. I love the fact that it is reversable and I can use it either on the natural burlap side or the white side. The white side has a large inside pocket and one small pocket on each side that is just perfect for cell phones. Will probably buy one for my daughter for her birthday.

i won't use the bag afterall as it has an odor and is 'weighty'.
Hope some of the price is helping charity.

I was bragging about this bag to my friends but when I showed them the logo, it was WFP and not WFM. It looks so similar to the ones that WFM sells, doesn't it?? If they HAD to use "WFP" as their logo, they could have made the bag look totally different from WFM's. I think this is sort of copying and using someone else's idea. Just slightly escaped from the legal issues...
Also, if you see the logo on the side pocket, WFP, it is not properly printed. It's not in the middle, and it's even tilted!! How unprofessional...
And the burlap dust gets on all over my coat and other clothes!!! They kind of burrow into the fabrics that it is really hard to get rid of. Don't buy it...

Really sturdy bag - reversible from burlap to natural cotton duck, with logos on both fabrics. Handle is a good length; I can put it over my shoulder easily, but the handles are not so long that the weight of the bag is below my comfortable carrying point. Bag is big enough to hold about a brown paper bag's worth of groceries, and the bag is sturdy enough to hold a heavy load.
Love the idea that buying the bag helps feed the hungry. And it's an advertisement I'm proud to carry and publicize.
