Hunger Banquet

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!
Hosts and speakers at the Hunger Banquet. Ali (second on the left) talked about international service, Josh Braizer, founder of Kaiizen (second on the right) talked about his organization Kaiizen.org, I talked about disaster relief service, and the other three hosted the event.

I am so proud of the work Chambrey is doing and I hope that you will take a minute to watch this video about the hunger banquet!  Also, if you get a chance please check out her website http://www.humanitariantraveltips.com/  There are a lot of great tips on how to get involved and plan humanitarian trips!

Keep on serving!
