The World Food Prize announced today that it will honor 14 individuals and organizations with the 2018 Robert D. Ray Iowa SHARES Humanitarian Award. The award will be given to those who, following the late Iowa Gov. Robert D. Ray’s inspired humanitarian leadership, made Iowa SHARES into a statewide campaign that delivered lifesaving food, medicine and volunteer doctors and nurses to the Cambodian border of Thailand, where thousands of victims of the Khmer Rouge Genocide had escaped. The World Food Prize Foundation established the humanitarian award in 2013 in recognition of the exceptional leadership that former Gov. Ray demonstrated in dealing with multiple situations affecting refugees in Indochina, and to honor him on his birthday (Sept. 26). To view the award winners, click here.
