A few days ago internal communication sent the below email. That day I put a notification to my calender, to not to miss this opportunity. These meetings are important to understand the WFP, its mission and future plans well.
"Rome Colleagues:
With August holidays behind us, we resume our every-other-Thursday forum at HQ this Thursday, 3 Sept., promptly at 8:30 in the Gazebo behind the cafeteria.
We kick off the fall with an informal "open session" with two deputy executive directors. Please join Chief Operating Officer and DED for Operations... and DED for Resource Management and Accountability... for a conversation about issues of the day.
Come with questions about any pressing issues; remember, this is your forum. Chances are, if there's something you don't understand, others don't understand it either. If you would like a certain topic to be addressed but are uncomfortable speaking in public, feel free to email me your question in advance.
To increase communication between HQ and the field, this Thursday, for the first time, we are patching in field staff by audio , so staff in country offices will be able to benefit from the conversation taking place. Please arrive on time so we do not keep country staff waiting.
There will be an opportunity for general announcements at the end. "
Today we also had field offices connected to the meeting. I hoped my other Vodafone colleagues were there.
My main understanding, from this meeting was, WFP is taking care of global warming as much as food aid. Because as we all know, global warming effects to the food productivity and then same story. Less food, and less nutrition...
To stop global warming, do something today. For example change your bulbs with the energy saving ones. Today EU banned the wasteful energybulbs on 1st of September, just 2 days ago. To read about it check this link out.
PS: I was not sure to put the director's name, so put ... instead.

SOME species of Australian birds are shrinking and the trend will likely continue because of global warming, a scientist said.
ReplyDeleteJanet Gardner, an Australian National University biologist, led a team of scientists who measured museum specimens to plot the decline in size of eight species of Australian birds over the past century.
The research, published last week in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, found the birds in Australia’s southeast had become between 2 per cent to 4 per cent smaller.
Over the same century, Australia’s average daily temperature rose 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit (0.7 deg C), with the sharpest increase since the 1950s.
