School meals serve over 407 million children across at least 148 countries. For many children in the developing world school may be the only place they receive a nutritious meal in a given day. But the impact of school meals goes well beyond individual children – working to build up families, communities, and the future of entire nations. In this episode of Voices to End Hunger, host Minerva Delgado speaks with Arlene Mitchell, Executive Director of Alliance member Global Child Nutrition Foundation. Together, they discuss the history of school meals, the tremendous impact they have had around the globe, and the U.S. contribution to this global movement through programs such as the McGovern-Dole Food for Education Program.
