On Saturday, the 23rd of December 2023, the Visionary Norman Foundation orchestrated a heartwarming event, ‘Feed The Street,’ where they catered to over 500 homeless individuals across the streets of Accra.
Why did the Visionary Norman Foundation embark on this initiative?
The founder of the Visionary Norman Foundation, Abraham Norman Nortey, stated, “Beyond the statistics, ‘Feed The Street’ embodies our vision of fostering a world where no one goes to bed hungry. Today, the streets of Tudu, Tema Station Market, Accra Ministries, Mövenpick, Children’s Park, through Independence Square, became a testament to the power of compassion.”
This initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 2 – “Zero Hunger,” acknowledging the global challenge where over 735 million people faced chronic hunger in 2022, a number expected to rise to 2 billion by 2050 if unaddressed.
Volunteers, driven by a shared objective, distributed not only food and drinks but also provided essential humanitarian supplies, recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by those living on the streets. This event aims to combat hunger, promote sustainable agriculture, and enhance nutrition.
How was the experience for other members/partners/friends of the foundation?
Dr. Yaa Offei Darko, a dedicated volunteer, shared her perspective: “Feeding the homeless goes beyond providing meals; it’s a profound act of acknowledging their humanity. ‘Feed The Street’ is a reminder that we are all part of one community, and every individual deserves nourishment and care.”
Dr. Abigail Yeboah, another passionate volunteer, added, “In the face of hunger statistics, today was about rewriting a narrative of hope. ‘Feed The Street’ is not just about giving; it’s about rewriting stories and creating an environment where everyone has a chance for a better tomorrow.”
The foundation recognizes the persistent global challenge of hunger and envisions a future where collective efforts eradicate this issue. The impact of ‘Feed The Street’ is a step towards that vision, a gesture that transcends mere sustenance, creating a ripple effect of kindness and hope.
As the day concluded, the streets echoed with gratitude, marking an indelible moment where a community rallied together to nourish lives and work towards a world without hunger. Visionary Norman Foundation extends heartfelt appreciation to all volunteers and partners for their unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of those often overlooked
Wondering what I think of this act from the Visionary Norman Foundation? Well, Jamie says…
While I commend the Visionary Norman Foundation on this kind of initiative, I feel more needs to be done by us as a society to do more for our friends who aren’t as fortunate as ourselves. You don’t have to break the bank to be a kind person!
