Subject: World Food Day

Hello There People!

Good food is the foundation of genuine happiness...Laughter is brightest where food is the best...a recipe is a story that ends with a good meal...

Have you spotted our theme today People? 😊😊😊It's fooooddd!

Each year, on October 16, World Food Day is celebrated to honour the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. The latter aims to raise awareness and action for those suffering from hunger and food insecurity. Who can hear the motherly melody still ringing in their ears: "You need to finish your plate, poor children do not have the privilege to have this food!" 😄😄😄

So, gear up, and send us pictures of your food this weekend and throughout next week, and we will feature it in next Friday's Gazette!

Quiz Time...Gift Time 😎

There are some pictures of the famous foods of some countries spread out across our Gazette today. Guess the name of the dish and its country of origin and send us your answers on Imperium News. Don't forget to guess the number of employees who have secured the right answers as well!

Team BD/Marketing | Dinner party

By now, we think everyone knows Team BD/Marketing loves eating noodles! 😂

Indeed, they gathered around some noodles, wantan, salmi chicken, greens and crab soup for what was an amazing dinner, without neglecting the delicious sago and ice cream. Quoi de mettre l’eau à la bouche! Also, with the amazing voices in the team, they set fire to the lounge - not literally of course - with a karaoke. No surprise if today they have less voices and keep it low 😂🎵🎤

Andersen team is travelling down memory lane this week!

Last year around this time, we had the incredible opportunity to host the Andersen Africa Regional Partners Meeting on our beautiful island.

Packed with insightful thought leadership sessions, the event was also a true celebration of joy, cultural exchange, friendship and nurturing of relationships.
