School Milk List is a service of FAO’s Trade and Markets Division<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/en/> World School Milk Day 2015: POLAND, Procibus Good morning, as a nonprofit foundation strongly linked to the Polish Dairy Cooperatives Association (KZSM) our project/testimonial is the Polish Milk Queen (“Królowa Mleka”). She is elected on a yearly base and crowned at the major dairy fair in Warsaw by the Polish agriculture minister. Beside, we have two milk princesses, to help fulfilling her duties. We regulary tour with them elementary schools in Poland, offering quite a sophisticated 90-minutes show programme tailored to ar 80 kids aged 8-12. Big fun, schools and kids like it a lot. But such shows do not catch serious media attention. So, for a more visible celebration of the 16th School Milk Day we decided to visit a regional parliament session and offer milk to deputies and the regional government members. Poland has 16 such regional parliaments, and the choosen province was Podlaskie, which is a major milk producer in Poland. They have had their monthly parliament session at September, 28th – so we celebrated with them two days earlier. The queen has had a speech in front of the parliament and later a drink of milk with quite all of the parlamentarians (30), elected government members (5) and officials from administration. The Polish vice health minister attended too.
