ISLAMABAD : The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has welcomed a contribution of US$6.7 million from the Government of Canada for nutrition, school feeding and relief activities in Pakistan.

The contribution will enable WFP to run its school feeding programme without a break in food supplies until December 2014, supporting more than 200,000 students in nearly 1,200 schools in six agencies of FATA. Part of the donation will also be used for nutrition activities. In addition, the funds will support the milling and fortification with micronutrients of 2,905 metric tons of wheat donated by the Government of Pakistan to WFP for its relief operation.

"Canada is proud to contribute to the World Food Programme's efforts in Pakistan to increase food security and ensuring access to nutritious food," said H.E. Greg Giokas Canadian High Commissioner in Pakistan. WFP is Canada's largest humanitarian partner and we will continue together to respond to Pakistan's emergencies and save lives by getting food to the hungry quickly, while also working to prevent hunger in the future"

Charity for Canadians, not the rest of the world. We have seniors in need of help, veterans can't get help, Canadian children going to bed hungry, and yet Canada has money to blow away on other countries. Besides that, if a country has a military why does it need foreign-aid for? Drop the military.

If canada would get off the coattails of the US, this would be alright...but truth be told, the only reason they can offer any charity is because of their dependence on Uncle Sam.  It is sort of pathetic. They should be giving the US tribute money instead of feeding terrorists!
