Nelson Mandela:
Another
important building block for new democracy is the love and
goodwill we
show to each other. That is the
spirit of Masakhane, of bringing one another together. It is
also the spirit of today’s festival organized by Food
for Life. Salambek Hadjiev (Former Prime
Minister of Chechnya):
I pray that your FOOD FOR LIFE program will expand to bring about a peaceful
world. Arlen Specter (US
Senate):
I congratulate you for your fine
achievements on behalf of the homeless....FOOD FOR LIFE’s success
in providing housing, food, and social services has long attracted
the attention of this office.
Susan Tydings Frushour (Red Cross)
Many people were in tears to see the efforts
of the FFL volunteers. Many of those who received
it commented that it was the "best
food they have had in a long time, even before the
hurricane hit!"
Bob Carr MP (Australian Parliament): The commitment of FOOD FOR LIFE
goes beyond the need for the basic necessities of life; it
is a commitment to improve the quality of life.
Thabo Mbeki (Deputy President of South Africa):
FOOD FOR LIFE is the real Reconstruction
and Development Programme. The understanding that if I have
a plate of food,
let me share it with my
neighbour . . . let those who are feeling sad come together with
us, and together we can share this burden. This understanding
should be taken
from FOOD FOR LIFE and transmitted to the entire country.
Zola
Dowell (OXFAM): As one of FOOD FOR LIFE's supporters,
OXFAM has witnessed firsthand the organization's activities
and its ability
to reach vulnerable groups in
a caring and respectful manner.
Rosemary Stanton (leading Australian
nutritionist):
[FOOD FOR LIFE] has been fundamental in promoting vegetarianism
in the Australian society.
Leland
Montell (International Rescue
Committee)
On behalf of the IRC, I would
like to compliment the efforts of FOOD FOR LIFE in providing
fresh fruit, vegetables,
and prepared meals to some
of the most vulnerable groups in Serbia.
Eric Fitzgibbon MP (Australian
Parliament):
The Australian Government recognizes
the valuable work the Hare Krishnas are doing with their
FOOD FOR LIFE program.
Hayley
Mills (British actress)
I am sure that in every city
where there is a FOOD FOR LIFE program, the people
would be very grateful for
the help they give—feeding
hundreds and hundreds of people, that would otherwise cost the city a
great deal. And all the support, friendship, and counseling—it's
hard to put a value on something like that.
