Hunger Banquet International Law Society |
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
SMC Campus Center, Ballroom
6:00 pm
Free to UMB Students
The purpose of the Hunger Banquet is to raise awareness regarding the Hunger crises throughout the world.
Here's how it works: Guests draw tickets at random that assign them each to either a high-, middle-, or low-income tier-based on the latest statistics about the number of people living in poverty. Each income level receives a corresponding meal. Guests can also assume characterizations that describe the situation of a specific person at the income level to which they've been assigned. Finally, all guests are invited to share their thoughts after the meal.
After a Hunger Banquet event, few participants leave with full stomachs, but all possess a greater understanding of the problems of hunger and poverty-and will feel motivated to do something about it.
Donations are optional, and will be divided and donated in full to Oxfam and the United Nations World Food Program. |
