This episode promises a heartwarming journey with the World Food Program's Barron Segar and Riaz Lodhi, who share their incredible stories from the humanitarian front lines, revealing how nutrition can be both a source of joy and a powerful tool for building communities. Hear how Barron transitioned from college graduate to becoming a pivotal figure in global humanitarian efforts, shedding light on the crucial connection between food security and community resilience around the world.
Riaz Lodhi, World Food Program El Salvador’s Executive Director takes us on a virtual trip to a land of surfing paradise, volcanic wonders and where community empowerment and food security are taking center stage. Witness the transformative power of school feeding programs that not only nourish young minds but also lift entire communities by supporting local farmers and economies. Discover how initiatives in El Salvador like the Biofortik nutritional supplement partnership with Food For The Poor are creating opportunities and cultivating resilience among the Salvadoran people, who are eager to innovate and grow from within. The kick-off for this initiative was World Food Day, but in El Salvador, now everyday can be a ‘food day’ for more than a fifth of all children in the country. Join us by embracing stories of change, highlighting the shift from scarcity to abundance, and exploring the profound impact of investing in the future through nutrition and education.
