Intelsat receives TeleFood Medal
WASHINGTON(US): Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Dr. Jacques Diouf presented Intelsat with the TeleFood Medal for the most outstanding contribution to promoting the concept of ‘food for all’ through involvement in the TeleFood programme.
Intelsat Senior VP, Corporate Services, Tony Trujillo, was present at the World Food Day ceremonies at the United Nations in New York to accept the award on behalf of the company.
In presenting the medal to Intelsat, the FAO has recognised the company’s support of efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty within the international community. Intelsat has provided satellite capacity free of charge to the FAO to rebroadcast TeleFood’s global solidarity concerts for the last six years.
Trujillo stated, “One hundred and sixty million children under the age of five will go to bed malnourished tonight – and 34,000 of those children will not wake up tomorrow. Intelsat, as a member of the global community, understands the importance of supporting the TeleFood campaign to alleviate world hunger. We are honoured not only to receive this award, but to play a role in such a worthwhile cause.”
