Now, here s your chance. The idea is simple.
Every attendant gets a randomly assigned country at the beginning of the evening.
And then the quantity and quality of food you eat is proportional to the average dinner of the citizens of your country. This is a powerful representation of the randomness of our birth, the luck of the citizens of rich countries and the bad luck of people in poor ones. This event is a part of the many projects in KSG this Spring that aim to raise awareness of the problems of hunger and the state of the poorest countries in the world. Another group including Anna Afshar, MPP1, tries to convince students to join a petition to support the Jubilee 2000 movement. This group, which already has 17 million supporters worldwide, pushes for forgiving the debts of the world s poorest countries.
