They each had the opportunity to speak and were very interesting to listen to and hear their messages.
The ceremony was closed by the world famous opera singer, Simon Estes, singing “Save the Children” and “All this Joy”. What a voice!
Following the ceremony, there was a formal dinner in the Rotunda. We had the privilege of sitting with five gentlemen from Mozambique, two ladies form Women Thrive Worldwide and a gentleman from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
At the end of the evening, we headed home. We were very honored to have attended this event and meet all those wonderful, inspiring people.
I attended the Iowa Hunger Summit this week, the opening event for the World Food Prize. I learned so much about the need to feed hungry families here in Iowa & around the world. Very appreciative for all the work your family and other Iowa farmers do to fill our plates.
Thank you Teresa! I’m glad you got to attend a portion of the World Food Prize. It was very interesting and educational I thought!`
