The 18-year-old is making a difference in the lives of local Sri Lankan childrenBy ELIZABETH LEONARD<\/a><\/a> May 28, 2019 11:00 AM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paris Brosnan<\/a> is doing his part to help raise awareness about childhood hunger in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A burgeoning filmmaker, the 18-year-old son of Pierce<\/a> and Keely Shaye Brosnan<\/a> recently traveled to Sri Lanka to document firsthand how one program is making a huge difference in the lives of both local children and on the region\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelling to Sri Lanka was an amazing opportunity for a young filmmaker,\u201d says Paris, who captured in a short film and in photographs the ongoing work being done in the South Asian island country by the UN World Food Programme<\/a> (WFP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With crucial support from Clarins<\/a> and FEED<\/a>, a social impact-driven brand founded by Lauren Bush Lauren, WFP is delivering nutritious food to Sri Lankan school-aged children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was drawn to Clarins and FEED\u2019s mission to help solve childhood hunger through school feeding,\u201d Paris tells PEOPLE. This school meals program gives children a sense of belonging, community, and an education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in Sri Lanka, Paris visited schools and farms to see up close how WFP connects local farmers with its meals program that ultimately helps both undernourished students and supports the local economy.ADVERTISING<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
