Hunger Banquet
By Cindy Todd
As I have been considering Mustard Seed’s upcoming Seed Sampler and its focus on food justice and sustainability, I was doing a bit of research and study on my own. What I found was overwhelming. 25,000 children die each day from malnutrition and preventable diseases.
I want to move beyond shaking my head and commenting “isn’t it terrible” to more deliberate action. Oxfam has designed a hunger banquet which teaches about poverty and food inequity in a powerful, experiential way. Its not only about raising money but also about raising awareness. I’ve attached a slideshow Rollins College created in 2007 to use at their own Hunger Banquet.
We can move beyond shaking our heads…
Inspire. Connect. Create
