Burlington Hunger Banquet
Poverty and hunger are for the most part out of sight and therefore out of mind for most of us.

This holiday season, however, I have been invited to attend an event that promises to call our attention to the injustice of the world and challenge us to do something about it.

My friends at the Oxfam Action-Corps is bringing a number of Vermont's leading anti-poverty and ant-hunger advocates together for an Oxfam Hunger Banquet.

The banquet will include stories, singing, and a meal designed to simulate the real life conditions of disparity separarating the world's richest and poorest populations.

WARNING: You may not get your fair share!
