World Hunger Day is an annual event, celebrated on May 28.<\/p>\n

The event, created by The Hunger Project UK, celebrates sustainable solutions to ending extreme hunger and poverty.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

This is a plight close to the heart of Germiston\u2019s Miss Earth South Africa 2015 regional semi-finalist, Tamlin-Jade Johnson (see GCN June 5)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To mark the day, she taught the children of Rebontsheng Primary School, in Vosloorus, Boksburg, the importance of the day and how they can make a difference in their own community.<\/p>

Tamlin helped the students to make hanging gardens, reusing 2lt cold drink bottles; an addition to the vegetable garden she helped the pupils to plants recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe planted herbs and flowers in the bottles and hung them outside the Grade Five classrooms, as these pupils are responsible for watering and looking after the plants,\u201d explained Tamlin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it was World Hunger Day, the children, teachers and I all enjoyed oranges after planting our hanging gardens.\u201d<\/p>\n
