The Yi Goa Chapter celebrated the World Food Day on 16 October 2009 in line with Yi national initiative. The theme of the YI Goa Chapter for the World Food Day program was “Ek Jinn; Ek Jevann" in Konkani which translated to English means, "Each Soul, One Meal". The objective was to experience the joy of giving .
YI Goa chapter also aired a radio campaign, in collaboration with Big FM 92.7 radio station, educating the public on the issue of Food Security and requesting them to join hands with YI Goa Chapter on 16th October 09 on the " Ek Jinn; Ek Jevann" mission.
A press conference was also held on 15 October 2009 at Hotel Nova Goa, Panaji – Goa by the Yi Goa Chapter Chair, Mr. Tejendra (Nikhil) Lawande to promote the best practices in achieving food security. He also highlighted the importance of World Food Day in the country and promote this idea to the citizens of Goa.
The total number of people fed by the Yi Members across Goa at various localities was 272 people.
An appeal was also made to Rotarians from Rotary District 3170 by the Co-Chair Ms. Jennifer to feed atleast one hungry soul in their area of operations / existence. Also the Yi Goa Chapter associated with Rotaract Club of Kundapur South, in Udipi, Karnataka to feed 30 Specially Challenged Children in a Special School in Kundapur, Udipi, Karnataka.
