HUNGER RUN
Recent developments from FAO: YUNGA, 7 August 2012
Sunday 21 of October 2012 in Rome take part in the HUNGER RUN. What are you waiting for get organized and involve your class and group.
HUNGER RUN 2012 EDITION
Runners will be back in the streets of Rome’s historic centre on Sunday 21 October 2012, for the 2012 edition of the Run for Food. Thousands of competitive and amateur runners are expected to participate in this popular 10K and 5K fund-raiser – now renamed the HUNGER RUN to better reflect the shared goals of the Rome-based UN agencies and other organizing partners. Proceeds from registration fees this year will help poor communities in Kenya affected by drought and poor harvests.
HUNGER RUN – EDIZIONE 2012
I corridori torneranno a correre per le strade del centro storico di Roma, domenica 21 ottobre, per l’edizione 2012 della Run for Food. Ci si aspetta che migliaia di atleti e corridori amatoriali partecipino in questa corsa di 10 km e 5 km per raccogliere fondi – adesso nominata HUNGER RUN per meglio riflettere gli obiettivi delle Agenzie delle Nazioni Unite a Roma e altri partners organizzatori. Il ricavato delle iscrizioni di quest’anno sarà devoluto alle comunità povere del Kenya colpite da siccità e scarsità di raccolti.
