Freshiiand Free The Children,an international charity and educational partner, have announced a partnership to help nourish and energize students in developing communities overseas. They will be creating school kitchens and vegetable gardens to provide healthy meals to students who wouldn’t otherwise be eating nutritionally. Talk about making a difference!
Together, they hope to make a real difference with the launch of $5 reusable “green bowls.” Proceeds will go towards building school kitchens and vegetable gardens in overseas communities where Free The Children works. Each kitchen and garden built will provide approximately 975,000 nutritious lunches to students every year, so they can concentrate on learning – not hunger!“This past July, I travelled to Kenya with Free The Children and saw firsthand the difference that access to safe, healthy food can make,” said Matthew Corrin, Founder and CEO of Freshii. “When students have enough to eat, they have a real opportunity to learn, and create a brighter future for themselves, their families and their entire communities. Now making a difference is as simple as buying your lunch. For every green bowl sold, a student overseas will gain access to a daily meal made from local, fresh ingredients.”To celebrate the “green bowl” initiative, Maasai Warriors Wilson Meikuaya and Jackson Ntirkana, joined Matthew Corrin, friends, and supporters in “fun run” events on Yonge Street in Toronto on Friday, November 30. They will be doing the same on Michigan Avenue in Chicago on December 4. Following the run, 50 Freshii customers got to collect a free, reusable “green bowl” from the runners to get the initiative going!Freshii’s fight to end hunger will begin in a Free The Children Adopt a Village community in Kenya, with the goal of eventually reaching students in communities around the world.
