That’s what our enthusiastic bunch of colleagues at TNT Singapore was doing to raise additional funds for Walk the World. Staffs that drive to work were encouraged to detour to the depot to get their cars washed - for a price that goes to charity. It was indeed a creative initiative to drive fund raising as well as a good opportunity for fun working together between functional teams – all for a good cause! : )
The TNT Walk the World Singapore team has put a lot of effort in making a 'Walk the World' 2012 Singapore trailer. Within the true spirit of the WFP and Walk the World, they try to make the world a better place :)
In 2012, the WFP will bring food to 75 million people in 75 countries. Every day, the WFP takes the necessary steps towards giving people hope and a future.
This year, TNT will celebrate it's 10 year partnership with the WFP. We celebrate this partnership by raising awareness and funds to end hunger. Together we take a step. Within one weekend, 1,2 and 3 June, over 40 countries, thousands of TNT colleagues will take a step to end hunger.
The biggest walk took place in Burkina Faso, where some 20,000 participants gathered in Ouagadougou for an event organised by first lady Chantal Compaore. The smallest walk counted just one participant in New Zealand, where TNT Country Director Ruud Smeets braved stormy weather on his own, in the name of the fight against hunger.
The Walk the World event is organised by TNT, and two other global private sector partners of WFP; Unilever and DSM. “Walk the World comes at a time of unprecedented challenge for the hungry and poor,” Josette Sheeran, Executive Director of WFP, said. “Children are suffering because food prices are still high in many developing countries, and the global financial crisis is now hitting family incomes hard.”
