The United Nations together set 17 important goals to accomplish by 2030 to make the world a better place. One of them is ZERO HUNGER, and the United Nations want us Teens4Unity from all over the world to help. Together we can ensure that no one in the world will ever have to suffer hunger.

On Saturday 24th July, 2021, an international virtual meeting was held by Teens4Unity to set up an international committee. Teenagers from different countries were able to share what they have already done for the Zero Hunger challenge and explore new ideas. An amazing opportunity: from Venezuela to Spain, Portugal, Corea, Pakistan, India…

Our Maltese representative was Maya Ungaro, 14 years old, who explained the poverty situation in Malta and shared a video about the various Zero Hunger Challenge activities the local Teens4Unity held over the last couple of years.

On Thursday, 22nd August, the Teens4Unity group went to the Millennium Chapel, in Paceville, in order to donate food items collected as part of the Zero Hunger Challenge. We were given a conducted tour of the centre and a very interesting explanation by Ivana Restall, one of the volunteers, about the services provided.

We also had a hands-on experience whereby the teens could help in the sorting out the clothes and toys in the distribution area. It was certainly a great opportunity for increasing our awareness of the needs of the people around us and a boost to live for a just and united world.

About the Millennium Centre

The Millennium Chapel, aside from being place of quiet prayer in the midst of Paceville, has a number of volunteers who help sort out clothes for those who cannot afford to keep themselves warm. It cares for about 220 families who are regularly supported with basic necessitates such as food, clothes and blankets. More information: www.millenniumchapel.org
