Walk the World 2008 - Windsor Park

Bilal, my good friend and colleague Susan Miller and I together embarked on a 5km walk in Great Windsor Park to support the World Food Program raising funds and awareness for the hungry of the world. It was a fun, rewarding day out for everyone and we also managed to raise monies for a very worthy cause.

A few statistics, worldwide, 471 SAP employees participated on this year’s Walk the World or showed their contribution through a donation to the World Food Program. By adding 10 Euros from SAP for each engaged employee, the final donation-result ended up by 16.812 Euros. I am glad that we were able to be able to contribute and be part of this effort.

The World Food Programme recently announced ‘hunger´s global hotspots’ and gives an overview of the hunger-related problems in specific countries. It also depicts WFP´s efforts to improve the situation against the background of the global increase in food and energy prices.
