World Food Day
For World Food Day on 16th October 2011, Terre des hommes is organising an initiative of solidarity, catering companies, retirement houses and food industries. This programme is taking place for the 9th consecutive year in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, for the 16th time in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and for the 5th time in Ticino. Those who take part agree to donate their day's takings towards the nutritional projects run by Tdh in 15 countries of intervention. In 2010, thanks to 500 participating restaurants, our partners and to all the people who ate out that day, nearly SFr. 200,000.- was collected to benefit children's health care!

Again this year, many people in the catering industry will be giving their support to these children!
Over 500 establishments rally round each year to help children in need. We continue our partnership with La Semaine du Goût to educate young and old. New this year, 2011, Tdh has the backing of students from the Lausanne Hotel School for the drawing up of a new concept for the WFD.
“We are associating ourselves with Tdh as World Food Day occurs during The Week of Taste, with the aim of letting children discover the flavours of the most simple products – vegetables. We get them to taste beetroot, celery chips or sweet corn and show them that they can be prepared in various ways. On that particular day, 10% of the takings of the ‘Cerf’ will be donated to Tdh.”
Carlo Crisci, chef of the Restaurant du Cerf, Cossonay (VD)
