TGMS #023 What We Can Do for World Food Day, with Angela Schug

Ocotber 16 is World Food Day, a day when the world stops to raise awareness about hunger and food security worldwide.

Today, I chatted with Angela Schug about World Food Day and the Hunger Free project at World Vision USA.

Angela Schug is a product team leader in the product marketing division at World Vision in the United States.  In this role, she engages Americans to provide resources that support World Vision’s work in hunger, health and disaster response.

Angela has been with World Vision since 2004.  She began her marketing career at the DLR Group, an architecture firm in Portland, Oregon.  She also served with the Peace Corps in Niger as an environmental educator, training Nigerien farmers on improving the care and management of their land, using better tools and technology to increase crop yields and accessing better quality seeds.

Angela has a bachelor’s degree in international studies and French from Whitworth University . She is married, has three children and lives in Portland, Oregon.

Angela shares about her own experience in the Peace Corps in Niger. We talk about the statistics surrounding hunger worldwide, and we talk about what World Vision is doing to make a difference in communities around the world.

I’ve been a supporter of World Vision for many years, so it seemed natural for me to contact them to find out more about World Food Day. However, there are of course many organizations dealing with this issue, and you can find more of those here:
