27th Anniversary Hunger Banquet
Program
Time Zone: MST (America/Denver)
Saturday, 25 February 2017
6:00 pm–7:00 pm
NGO Fair
Open to the general public. The Hunger Banquet attracts hundreds of people from BYU and the local community who feel a desire to contribute to social causes, but may lack the understanding or expertise to do so. We want to maximize attendees’ exposure to both current social problems and potential solutions, so we hold an involvement fair directly before the event where different organizations set up booths to promote their causes. This year’s fair will feature several organizations that work with refugees locally and internationally.
7:00 pm–9:00 pm
Dinner
Enjoy dinner in a setting that represents the demographic inequality in the world through seating and meals served. Event attendees are randomly seated and served a meal representative of high, middle, or low-income areas of the world. We host a guest speaker and entertainers representing cultures other than our own. This year’s guest speaker will be Nathanael Molle from SINGA France, an organization working to bring communities together with refugees across France.
