"I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child’s life," said Drew Barrymore. "It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future. I urge everyone -- everywhere -- to help WFP ‘Fill the Cup’ for hungry children, and make hunger history," she said.

She explained that for just 25 US cents a day, WFP can provide a school meal which feeds bodies, minds and transforms children’s lives.

As part of the “Fill the Cup” campaign, WFP is seeking US$3 billion -- just 25 US cents a day -- to feed 59 million hungry school children in developing countries worldwide for a year. People can donate by clicking on “Fill the Cup” at www.WFP.org.
