My great and wonderful friend Chambrey hosted a hunger banquet a couple weeks ago in order to raise funds for a school building project in India. She will be leaving in a couple months along with her siblings. She is a great example of someone with a passion and drive to help others in need and has an adventurous personality to go along with it!

70% of people sitting on the ground to illustrate the vast majority of poverty stricken people in the world. |
The hunger banquet was a great success! She had 3 guest speakers and I was lucky enough to be able to share my stories with disaster relief service. The hunger banquet was geared toward highlighting global hunger, with a majority of people living in poverty. Most of the guests sat on the ground and had rice and beans to eat, while others sat at nice linen tables with a gourmet meal. The hunger banquet also highlighted how to get involved in service and what service can do for you!
