Queen Rania Of Jordan Used Homemade Jam Jar To Illustrate Her Points At Philanthropy Conference | AHN | April 24, 2009: "Giving the keynote address at the event in Washington, the monarch stressed that 'the need for global philanthropy is more urgent than ever before' before asking 'How do we know when philanthropy is making a positive difference?'

Clutching the jam, she explained the answer could be found in the story of a nine-year-old Jordanian girl, Leila, who was asked to come up with a healthy breakfast for her schoolmates.

Leila collected uneaten apples from pupils and, with the help of her mother, made a large jar of jam which was served in school and then sold on at markets. All profits were donated back to the disadvantaged school."
