FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Model UN students to meet U.N., U.S. food aid officialsMarch 22, Kansas City -- Model UN students from Kansas City-area college and high school campuses will join other members of the Kansas City community on April 19 at the University of Missouri – Kansas City in a discussion on world food aid and agriculture with officials of the United Nations and the United States government. At the invitation of the Greater Kansas City chapter of the United Nations Association --U.S.A, Judith Lewis, director of the U.S. Relations Office of the United Nations World Food Programme; Lauren Landis, director of Food for Peace at the U.S. Agency for International Development; Bert Farrish, deputy administrator, commodity operations, U.S. Department of Agriculture; and Charles Riemenschneider, director, liaison office, Washington, for the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, will provide background and expertise on world food aid needs, initiatives and procedures and discuss with Kansas Citians the future of these vital programs and efforts. Kansas City plays a pivotal role in U.S. and world food aid campaigns because it is here, at the U.S.D.A.’s K.C.-based commodity office, that the U.S. purchases the food commodities that are donated to the hungry of the world. Because of this connection, Kansas City has been the host city to an annual conference on food aid organized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Agency for International Development. The sixth annual U.S.D.A./U.S. AID Food Aid conference will take place April 20-22, following the U.N.A.-U.S.A.-sponsored food aid-related events. Please join the Model UN students and other Kansas Citians for this unprecedented opportunity to discuss world food aid with those playing key roles in this essential effort. The session will take place Monday, April 19, 1:00 p.m., Room 106, University Center, 5100 Rockhill Road, University of Missouri-Kansas City. ________________________Contact Information
