FEATURED STORY
Food For Life Attends Slovenia's Largest Student Festival
Good Search Recently, Food For Life Slovenia was present at 'Škisova tržnica' the biggest Slovenian students' clubs festival with more than 30,000 students in attendance. Twenty volunteers prepared and distributed thousands of cookies, sandwichs, puris and papadams to students and participants.

During the day, Food For Life Board Member Borut Vidmar presented the charitable work of the organization to Slovenian president Mr. Danilo Tuerk.

FEATURED PROJECT
Working Villages International - A New FFL Affiliate Project

Imagine a town with: NO POLUTTION, 100% RECYCLING, NO UNEMPLOYMENT, NO HUNGER and FREE HEALTH CARE...it's happening in Africa!

There are very few places on Earth like the Ruzizi Valley. The average temperature remains around 80 degrees Fahrenheit all year round. There is plentiful water, rich soil and four growing seasons. However, ten years of brutal civil war had destroyed everything.

In 2005, the people of the Ruzizi Valley, in partnership with Working Villages International (WVI), an affiliate of Food for Life Global began implementing an innovative yet practical economic model of sustainable village development.

A model village is literally rising from the ashes, and include full employment, private ownership of small farms and businesses, zero carbon footprint and 100% recycling. The project is a practical demonstration that it’s possible to profoundly increase living standards in rural Africa without hampering local culture and ingenuity.

GLOBAL WARMING

Shun meat, says UN climate chief

By Richard Black

( Environment correspondent, BBC News website)

People should consider eating less meat as a way of combating global warming, says the UN's top climate scientist.

Rajendra Pachauri, who chairs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), will make the call at a speech in London on Monday evening.

UN figures suggest that meat production puts more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than transport.
