Two Degrees continues to warm up the world

I was pleased to hear this story about Two Degrees on APM's Marketplace, which focused on  the role of social entrepreneurs in helping with world hunger problems. 



Regular readers may recall my earlier stories about this company, which purchases and donates a nutrition food pack to a malnourished child in Africa for each one of their nutrition bars sold here.  To make it even better, the food pack is also produced in Africa, helping to support the local economy.


Here is a picture of a distribution at Shining Hope in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya.  My friend Lauren Walters, co-founder, says the company is on track to donate 150,000 more packets by the end of the year.
