SINGAPORE - More than 700 people here raised over S$80,000 yesterday for hungry children in Cambodia, at a walk organised by global logistics company TNT Express, in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme.

Participants of "Walk the World", the ninth year it has been held in Singapore to raise awareness and funds for child hunger, surpassed the target of S$60,000 for the School Feeding Programme in Cambodia.

The morning event that began in Dalbergia Green in East Coast Park was conducted across 41 countries this year.

Since 2002, TNT Express has invested more than US$50 million (S$61.8 million) in the partnership with the World Food Programme. Those who wish to contribute to the cause can log on to www.movingtheworld.org. SHARON SEE
