Serving with Honor Hunger Banquet

The annual Serving with Honor Hunger Banquet was held in Royer about a week ago.  It was actually the reason why the Humanities meeting was moved to the other room.  At the banquet, everyone gets a card that has an economic class on it.  Depending on which card you got, you either got a small amount of rice for dinner, pizza, or a fancy pasta dinner with cheesecake for dessert.  I got the rice, but everyone got to eat pizza afterward.  We then had a discussion about hunger and watched a documentary about hunger in Africa and ways to combat malnutrition.  I learned about a new food product they use called 'plumpynut' which cures malnutrition.  It was a good experience and anyone can participate in the banquet if you want to come next year.
