Saturday, February 20
6:30–9:00 p.m.
Campus Center CE 450
Greetings!
The Global Health Student Interest Group (GHSIG) is hosting an event you won’t want to miss: the second annual Hunger Banquet—Saturday, 20th February from 6:30-9:00pm. The
event takes place in the IUPUI Campus Center, Rm 450.
The Hunger Banquet is designed to promote awareness and cogent discussion of world hunger—an unconscionable reality for one out of every six people, most of whom are in the developing world. The format of the Hunger Banquet provides a unique way to encourage dialogue on the topic through a “tiered-dining” experience that divides guests into “first world,” “second world,” and “third world” and tailors the meals to the different economic strata represented.
The event features ethnic food donated by Indianapolis restaurants, diverse cultural entertainment, and Imani Workshop fair-trade Kenyan crafts will be available for sale.
All proceeds of this year’s event go to benefit the IU-Kenya Orphans & Vulnerable Children’s Program, http://www.iukenya.org/orphans.html.
Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
