 Hunger Feast
Project Created: Thursday, March 04, 2010
Project Leader: ColleenCallahanEHS
Location: Hardwick, United States
Project Goal: To educate our school community about the issue of global hunger/poverty. And to encourage students to consider giving to our clothing collection for a local summer camp that serves poor urban families.
Project Cause: The root causes for the problem of world hunger are the legacy of colonialism, an unwillingness to distribute aid, and the international community's unwillingness to forgive debt of Third World countries.
Project Plan: We plan on holding a Hunger Feast event where we serve lunch to our school in proportion to how food is distributed globally. This, coupled with a presentation, will help our community visualize just how stark the contrast is between the rich and poor countries and inspire them to do something about it.

 Great project. This is so creative! Let us know how the lunch goes. Hunger is such a huge issue throughout the world, but living in America, I don't think most people have a grasp on exactly how horrible things are. Way to go on spreading the awareness. |
