"World School Milk Day raises awareness about the importance of school milk programmes and the benefits of dairy nutrition on the health and wellbeing of our kids."
New Zealand children were the first in the world to celebrate World School Milk Day and joined through the day by more than 40 countries where milk in school programmes operate, including China, Iran, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, as well as others in Europe and Africa.
Founded by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation in 2000, World School Milk Day seeks to establish healthy eating habits, helping students perform at their academic and physical best.
