The Really Good School Dinner campaign aims to raise funds for WFP school feeding programmes around the world. During the week of 26-30 January 2009 English school children taking part in the initiative are pledging to empty their plate to fill that of a child in the developing world. By giving just 10p each dinner time they will help WFP provide nutritious school meals for children in countries like Kenya, Afghanistan and Cambodia.
