Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen...

Sadly, today is my last day as an official member of Team FEED.  It has been a pleasure to work with FEED for the last year (and a few months) and I have learned a great deal in my time here.

In signing off, I wish FEED the very best of luck in the future.  I hope the company continues to provide support and raise awareness around the issues of child hunger and malnutrition both domestically and around the world.  

I'll be working towards my law degree and hopefully can help FEED in a different capacity in the future...

Very sincerely,

Colleen Riley

Thank you Team FEED!!



Though I have been a diligent member of Team FEED for over a year now, until yesterday I was unaware of the sneaky skills that the rest of my co-workers possess...

I was informed that I needed to stay late at the office due to a meeting for an upcoming project, which put quite the dent in my plans for the evening.  Around 6pm I answered the door expecting to find our business contacts and instead found a dozen of my closest friends from NYC...FEED had planned a surprise shindig to celebrate my time at the company.  I was indeed very surprised and quite confused but we celebrated with some pulled pork, cervezas, and great company.  :)

A big thank you to the ladies at FEED, Kevin, Gwenn, and everyone for coming!  I had so much fun and that was an incredibly thoughtful thing to do.  Some highlights of the evening below...

Introductions

Kathryn here! My second day at FEED Projects and I'll be working here for the next 9 weeks. I'm so excited to get going...what is better than an internship that combines Africa, poverty alleviation, food, fashion, New York, and a great office culture?! I am currently pursuing my MBA at HBS and spent last summer in Ghana working at startup that provides business training to entrepreneurs seeking microfinance loans.  My work at FEED will focus on launching three new products to become available in the next year. More soon...

Drew Barrymore FEEDs

About a month ago, we were in LA for the Milken Conference, and had a chance to meet Drew Barrymore, who is a Hunger Ambassador for the UN World Food Program.  She hosted a talk at CAA with the Executive Director of WFP, Josette Sheeran.  They are both such amazing and dynamic women, and were able to articulate the plight of world hunger through their personal experiences working with WFP.

During the talk, the youngest member of the audience, a boy maybe 13 years old, raised his hand and asked what he could do to help in the fight against world hunger.  This small event later inspired a Huffington Post article, which also mentions FEED!  Thanks Drew!
