A little bit of perspective will be on the menu at the World Hunger Banquet Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Newman Catholic Center.

The World Hunger Banquet is an annual event to raise awareness of world hunger. Participants will learn many facts about world hunger, including the causes and how many people die each day as a result.

To begin the World Hunger Banquet, participants are divided into three groups, each representing the first, second and third worlds. Each group is then given specific foods that correspond with the world they represent. The foods will include a set of rules that participants must follow.

“There will also be slides and information on the countries,” Teresa Kronenburger, a junior elementary education major, said.

Kronenburger said there will be a forum for participants following the meal.

“Participants can ask questions about what they’ve learned or just give their input,” she said.

The forum could discuss results of world hunger as well as possible solutions, Kronenburger said.

The World Hunger Banquet also helps raise money for the Haiti Connection, a group comprised of students and community members that promotes awareness and understanding of the third world.

Kronenburger expects a good turnout at the banquet.

“We usually have around one hundred participants,” she said.
