Food Not Bombs Heads to Nigeria

[Editor]

Many groups and organisations have come through Nigeria offering help,
but none have made such a personal and useful impact as much as Food
Not Bombs. While most offer a somewhat impersonal approach, Food Not
Bombs stands with the people.

Headed by co-founder, Keith Mchenry, Food Not Bombs has grown from a
simple concept to a worldwide effort. Over the last 26 years, the
organisation has brought in countless volunteers and chapters which
currently can be found in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle
East, Asia, and Australia.

McHenry made his way to Nigeria's southern city of Calabar in November
to meet face-to-face with people in need. Not only did he serve vegan
and vegetarian food, the trademark of Food Not Bombs, but he also
brought them consociation.

[Society for Ethics in Nigeria]

Dear members,

The Society for Ethics wishes to apologise to our readers who received
the mail from Food Not Bombs. The message was posted on our group
without authorisatiion and we wish to state that our idea is not to
portray our great country as a country of beggars where food is
distributed to hungry poeple.

If anything, we are a proud people capaqble of holding our own anywhere
in the world. If we are hungry, it is not for some do-gooders to come
an istribute food to us. We can take care of ourselves. Once again, we
apologise and promise this type of posting will not occur in this group
again.

Regards

whiskey, I.U.
