On Dec. 20, students at Glen Rock High School participated in a “hunger banquet” in order to raise awareness of global poverty and hunger. Students signed up in their Social Studies classes and the response was overwhelming: over 300 students participated during the four lunch periods at the school. Organizer, junior Jennifer Godfrey designated each student as having a particular level of wealth, which determined their meal at the banquet. To simulate the proportion of rich to poor, only a few students were provided a balanced meal, while the majority ate rice and beans or just plain rice. Beth Fernandez, representing the Glen Rock Poverty Project, made a presentation to the students as they ate.
