SINGAPORE: More than 700 people in Singapore on Sunday raised some S$80,000 for hungry children in Cambodia.

Participants of the “Walk the World” event started their early morning charity event at Dalbergia Green at East Coast Park.

The walk was organised by global logistics company TNT Express, in partnership with the United Nation’s World Food Programme (WFP).

The event has been held annually for the past nine years, and this year, it was conducted across 41 countries to raise awareness and funds for the School Feeding Programme in Cambodia.

Since 2002, TNT Express has invested more than USD$50 million in the partnership with the WFP.
