Using her voice
During her recent trip to Kigali, Rwanda, multi Grammy award-winning singer and star of The Voice Christina Aguilera brought attention to the hunger problem in the war-torn country.
The experience of serving food to hungry children who walk miles to and from school each day to receive a hot meal through the UN World Food Programme’s school meals initiative and spending time with mothers and children at a refugee camp, listening to how they escaped violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, left her emotional.
“I’m deeply moved by the many hungry mothers and children that I met in Rwanda,” said Aguilera, who serves as the global spokesperson for Yum! Brands World Hunger Relief effort and as an Ambassador Against Hunger for the WFP.

“Just being able to experience the culture has been great,” said Bosh, a two-time defending champ who altered his personal travel plans to promote his league in Mumbai.
