Untitled Document 
- Buying one World Food Programme FEED bag feeds a child in school for one school year.
- School feeding acts as a magnet, dramatically increasing enrollment, sometimes by as much as 100 percent. It 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. Furthermore, these children are healthier and better educated.
- $20 a year can transform a child's life and provide the tools for a lifetime of self-reliance. School feeding is a simple but effective way to beat hunger and poverty.
- 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!" |

 Reusable, reponsible bag January 5, 2009
My wife loves this item I got her from Amazon and she has cut down the use of plastic grocery bags by 80%. Its tough, light with enough capacity (about two plastic Safeway bags)for her to fill up, carry with being fashionable and eco-responsible.

yup thats right, Laura Bush came out with these bags. At whole foods market they are $30- $10 goes to feeding children of Rwanda (not even our own kids) $20 to the Bush family for "administrative reasons" yeah like to gas a plane from china.
 Doesn't hold up December 27, 2008
I got this bag in December 2007. The white cloth side is now very dirty (can you wash this bag?), and the other side frays EVERYWHERE. No matter which side is facing outwards, I end up with light brown fibers all over my shoulder and arm everytime I carry it. I used it for college, carrying a few notebooks and a textbook or two, but it just hasn't held up. When I do use it, I end up having to brush my clothing/jacket off every time.
The money went to an excellent cause though.
Feed Bag December 17, 2008
I love this "Feed Bag", not only for itself, but for what it represents. It would be nice if percentages of more of our purchases went to help the less fortunate, rather than make fat profits for companies/CEO's, etc.

At the top of my granddaughter's Christmas list this year was a Feed Bag purse. She had observed a lady with one at her church. She was drawn to it and inquired about it. When she found out part of the purchase price would go to feed the hungry, she said she was willing to sacrifice some of the money we woud spent on her this Christmas to share with those in need. Her name is Rachel and she is 14 years old. I'm so happy to give her this bag for Christmas because she has truly learned the Spirit of Christmas.
