Malnutrition is an underlying cause in more than half of the 25,000 daily, preventable deaths of children and remains as one of the world's most serious health problems. And Guatemala faces some of the worst malnutrition in Central and Latin America.
Thankfully, UNICEF is leading the charge against hunger through an innovative solution called "sprinkles" -- small packets filled with necessary vitamins and minerals that are mixed into children's food.
Twestival 2010
Posted by Naoise Kavanagh in Concern Blog | 11 March 2010 | 0 comments
This year on Thursday 25 March, people in hundreds of cities around the world will come together for Twestival (or Twitter Festival).
Events are organised globally, organised by volunteers, and all money raised on the day will go directly towards Concern’s education projects. Watch the new Twestival video below.
According to Karen Gallagher, Head of Concern Northern Ireland:
All of us at Concern Worldwide are very excited to be involved with the second annual Twestival and would like to thank everyone involved across the world for helping to raise vital funds and awareness for our education programmes. Twestival is such a fantastic example of the difference that can be made when individuals join together to volunteer and take action.
So much more
Concern’s education projects bring real, long-term improvements to local communities, helping thousands of children to get access to a primary education and the chance of a brighter future. Thanks to the support of Twestival we will be able to do so much more. Watch our new education video.
