Today, September 28, is World School Milk Day. GCNF Board Member and Global Director for Food for Development Office at Tetra Pak, Ulla Holm, is featured in a video highlighting the importance of having milk in schools. Their new school milk initiatives are based in Zambia, Pakistan, Honduras and Argentina.
Ulla says, “World School Milk Day is both a celebration of dairy’s many benefits to children and the ongoing work to bring milk to every child,” said Holm.” It’s a symbol of an industry bringing access to milk every day of the year, offering health, education and economic opportunities to millions of men, women and children around the world.”
About World School Milk Day
World School Milk Day is an initiative established in 2000 and supported by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations. FAO has played a coordinating role in collating information from list members regarding preparations for celebrating this Day. The goal of World School Milk Day is to provide a particular day when attention is focussed on this issue and to promote these programs. Importance is lent to the event by the fact that other countries are doing the same thing, on the same day, and that FAO is supporting the activity. http://www.fao.org/
