ZERO HUNGER OUTREACH

UNADAP FOOD PROGRAMME
ZERO HUNGER - ATHMANIRBHAR BHARAT
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh
Programme Director: Ms. Leema Rose
Food menu: Indian-vegetarian-organic Submarine-sandwich and delicious cottage cheese & veggie wraps
Published by,
Communications Director, UNADAP
With the urgent appeal from the UN Secretary General to eradicate hunger, UNSDG 2 (ZERO HUNGER), and Prime Minister Modi's Athmanirbhar Bharat - self reliant India drive, UNADAP acknowledges that we are just a drop in the ocean to eradicate ‘acute hunger’ starting with India. As we do our little bit, we are excited about our new concept of food distribution.
STUDY: Most food distribution programmes in India, including UNADAP, in good faith, are served with rice, India's staple diet, which is not the healthiest to consume for all meals. Many outreach charity programs in India, distribute coloured-rice and sometimes with no gravy or a side-dish, making the rice dry and unpalatable. Furthermore, the food is usually served in non-eco-friendly aluminium foil packaging.
There are places as ISKON that really take care in the nutrition values for food distribution and we need to learn from them.
The issue with rations and groceries distribution is that the poor have little or no fuel to cook the raw supplies, causing the supplies to go stale, and most are homeless. Another issue is that the supply of groceries helps in the long-term, but does not solve the immediate need for a person to have a meal. The United Nations has estimated that, "Each day, 25,000 people, including more than 10,000 children, die from hunger and related causes. Some 854 million people worldwide are estimated to be undernourished, and high food prices may drive another 100 million into poverty and hunger." (source)
When our ‘Food Programme’ team had conducted a study on the beneficiaries of such foods, the recipients were grateful but yet not so happy with the status quo, as they feel deprived and outcast with what they type of food they receive. During one such outreach programme, a child who along with her parents and friends were seeking help on road, was not too pleased to eat the coloured-rise that was distributed and when we enquired, she and friends who tagged along stated that "everyone gives us rice all the time and sometimes it's leftovers and sometimes it's only coloured rice and we have been eating it all our lives." Her father said that they were however grateful for whatever they received. Then the child held the hand of the Executive Director, Dr. Dixon and said, "Uncle, can you buy me a roll (wrap)", as she pointed to restaurant near by, and stated that she wanted a veg roll since she was a Hindu vegetarian. Dr. Dixon stated that if his own niece or nephew had asked him for a wrap or a burger, he would never refuse. Thus our new menu was born and out of love.
RESULT: Therefore, our team at UNADAP decided that we must do better as a nation and give our fellow-Indians a sumptuous-healthy-desi meal. After weeks of discussions with chefs and dieticians, we have designed two meal packages as we partnered with leading food service providers, pan India for our food programme. The menu is designed as Indian-vegetarian-organic meals comprised of Submarine-sandwiches and delicious cottage cheese & veggie wraps, made with wheat bread, filled with cottage cheese, capsicum, tomatoes, onions, sprinkler power for the desi-tingle on the palette and sauces with additional condiments. The packing used are biodegradable and ecological paper, with zero usage of plastic.
Considering climate-change and the soaring heat temperatures in India, a tetra pack of a healthy-flavoured-milkshake, made with fortified toned milk, was also provided. We have removed the plastic straws from the pack and cut the pack to drink directly from it.
India must become ‘Athmanirbhar Bhart’, ‘self-reliant India’ as is Prime Minister Modi’s economic vision and economic development in the country.
UNADAP has over 1500 volunteers pan India, and this food programme will run for the next three months to address the need of acute hunger, with the hope that more individuals, more families, more corporates will do their little bit to eradicate acute hunger.
As a rule, we do not publish images of the poor receiving food packages, but in this post, we've expressed the chronic situation of poverty, as people are going to bed hungry in the desperate climate conditions, unable to ask for help due to soaring temperates. We never post images of children receiving food even though dozens have received it.
It is our hope that within a city, at every zone, individuals, families, and corporates have such outreaches so that no one goes to bed hungry!
JAI HIND!

These are very real situations, the names of states and embassy have been changed.
"Federal/ Political Land Dispute" & "Settlement and Hostage Negotiation."
SESSION ONE:
Training to handle demographic land dispute and settlement of two peoples' group with the endangerment of genocide.
For land settlement, I had to act as the country representative for the right to self determination as a peoples group. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the United Nations were the observers. The final agreement was to call for a truce and to allow minorities the right to education, the right to mother tongue, the right to public sector jobs and the right of the minority group to run for office. The ultimate goal would be for 'one nation one people'.
HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS
In the pic of four people, are members of the hostage negotiation team that I was a part of. One person who is a senior diplomat with the UN is not in the pic. Not mentioning their names for their privacy, the lady in the pic is a diplomat of Brazil to Rome, the gentleman next to her is a permanent representative to the UNOV from the Arab Nations League and the gentleman next to him was the Mediator, is the First Secretary at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Vienna, and yours truly.
What we see on television and the dramatic intensity of a hostage situation in nothing compared to a simulation or the real deal.

Summary:
Neuroplasticity makes your brain extremely resilient and is the process by which all permanent learning takes place in your brain, such as playing a musical instrument or mastering a different language. Neuroplasticity also enables people to recover from stroke, injury, and birth abnormalities, improve symptoms of autism, ADD and ADHD, learning disabilities and other brain deficits, pull out of depression and addictions, and reverse obsessive-compulsive patterns
