KidsCookDinner.com is honored to be Verisign, Inc’s grand prize winner in Verisign’s domain name contest (for a total prize of $35,000)! Thank you to everyone who voted for us and thanks to Verisign, Inc. for sponsoring the contest. Click HERE to hear the story of the domain name.
We have donated 1/3 of our prize (or $11,666) to Action Against Hunger, ACF International. This international organization is dedicated to saving the lives of malnourished children, while helping vulnerable communities become self sufficient. Our family is lucky enough to have plenty of food, but millions of people worldwide do not have enough food. Worldwide, 1.2 billion people have less than $1.50 a day to spend on food! Can you imagine that?? Max & Alex calculated that the cost of their typical breakfasts (bowl of cereal with milk, juice and a piece of fruit) cost about $1.50! And they could not imagine that being the only food they got all day. We even tried to survive on only $1.50 of food for a day (see below) and we were so hungry.
Special thanks to Asif, Alex, Andrea and the whole team at Action Against Hunger in New York for meeting with us on August 19, giving us a tour and explaining some of the amazing work you do when we dropped off the check. Wow! You are all truly inspiring!
