Last Thursday, the IB Diploma Students and the Community Service Club hosted an Oxfam Hunger Banquet. This interactive event brought hunger and poverty issues to life. When guests arrived at our Oxfam Hunger Banquet event, they drew tickets at random that assigned them to a high-, middle-, or low-income tier—based on the latest statistics about poverty around the world. Each income level had a different experience. The 20% in the high-income tier were served a sumptuous meal at tables; the 30% in the middle-income group ate a simple meal of rice and beans, seated in chairs; and the 50% in the low-income tier helped themselves to small portions of rice and water while sitting on the floor. Charles Segal and Whitney Bond were our MC's guiding participants through this interactive experience. The money we raised will be donated to the Preble Street Food Pantry.
