State Department blog reflects on global hunger event

In this post in the U.S. Department of State's "Dipnote" blog, Tjada McKenna, deputy coordinator for development for Feed the Future, reflects on the Global Hunger Event that took place at the conclusion of the Olympic Games in London. "The event brought civil society and private sector partners together with leaders from across the globe -- and even a few Olympic heroes including incomparable Mo Farah -- to commit to championing for change against global hunger," she notes, adding, "What I realized at the Global Hunger Event was that the momentum we've all created -- through Feed the Future, the New Alliance, and this event -- is real." She asks, "If we all continue to champion these efforts, and work alongside our colleagues, partners, and heroes to fight hunger, what will our legacy be?" (8/20).
