Berkeley & UN World Food Programme - Haas Against Hunger
- This year, we’ve been able to virtually come together as a global community and our culture of going “beyond ourselves,” has continually provided us with hope in times of need. It is in this spirit that Eugene Kim and Zeenia Irani, EW 23s, were inspired to raise awareness for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize Winner, the United Nations World Food Programme.
- On Friday Dec 18 at 5PM PST, please come join the conversation about how the UN WFP is using creative and innovative solutions to tackle hunger around the world with Dr. Chase Sova, Senior Director of Public Policy at WFP. RSVP here.
- In line with the Haas spirit, support the WFP by donating here.
