| Dear Friends 16th November marks the United Nations (UN)
sponsored International Day of Tolerance, highlighting the core values in the UN Charter: "to reaffirm faith in
fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, ... and for these ends to tolerance and live
together in peace with one another as good neighbours." Being food secure is core to ensuring human dignity, and
this month, in the spirit of tolerance and peace, we focus on two stories from "our boss", the hungry of South
Africa: A Window in every Room and Azaad, a Place of Peace.
We also do a round up of World Food Day events in October and tell you what FoodBank is doing in the five
provinces where we do not have an operational FoodBank yet. And lastly, for our British readers, we give details of
our London Art Auction, an exciting fundraiser to be held on 14 November.
