WFP launches Arabic version of award -winning "Share The Meal" App
Cairo - Arab Today
Smartphone users in the Arabic-speaking world can help feed Syrian refugee children in Lebanon with just a tap on their mobile phones through the innovative ShareTheMeal application, the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) announced Thursday.
The launch of the ShareTheMeal app coincides with the arrival of the Holy month of Ramadan observed by Muslims around the world who fast from sunrise to sunset to understand how it feels to be less fortunate. In Ramadan, WFP is using ShareTheMeal to help feed Syrian refugee children in Lebanon.
Since the launch of the English version of the app last year, more than 500,000 users worldwide have provided the equivalent of more than 5.6 million daily food rations to the poorest and hungriest around the world. The app has received several awards for its design and innovative character, including by Google who named it as one of the Best Apps of 2015.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
