By our foreign affairs correspondent in Alaghon

MANZARABAD, Zekistan – The Wurld Food Program (WFP) has announced a donation by the Republic of Tamurin of A$2 million in support of school feeding programs in Zekistan. The contribution will enable the WFP to feed 65,000 Zeki school children. Zekistan is one of the poorest countries in Eastern Europa and malnutrition is a problem in an alarming number of children in the country according to experts from the WFP and AN.

The donations, which came in the form of rice and canned fish, will help sustain school meals and support children’s dietary diversity, attendance, concentration and learning, while reducing food expenses for their families. Schools that are supported by the WFP and ANICEF record higher attendance rates often exceeding 90%. According to the WFP the donation allows the children to get the education they need and prevent disease that may hamper their growth.

The WFP director in Zekistan, Gilbert Deloffre of Lysia, praised Tamurin and said thanks to the generosity of the Tamurin people “many more children will have a chance to live healthy successful lives.”

WFP reports that Tamurin is one of the largest donors to Zekistan totaling over A$25.2 million in the past ten years. The Tamurine Ambassador stated “We are happy to continue to providing assistance to our neighbors in Europa. Tamurine people believe that all children deserve an education and a healthy diet, no matter where in the wurld they were born.”

The Assembled Nations Wurld Food Program is the largest humanitarian organization in the wurld and helps alleviate crises around the wurld via food assistance and agricultural technical expertise. It is based in Wonchon, Sunseong and accepts donations from governments, private organizations, and individual donors.
