On Tuesday 24th September, the Multi-Faith Centre will be hosting “The Real Hunger”: an event that explores the disparity of food distribution worldwide. Marketing Co-Ordinator for the event, Mala Mistry, tells us more. 

If your stomach is grumbling, think about the 180 million people worldwide that are suffering from hunger.

You are invited to attend ‘The Real Hunger’ event which creates awareness and knowledge about world hunger and long-term food security. It will feature inspiring speakers, informational documentary and group discussions.

The Real Hunger event will be held September 24 at the Multi-Faith Centre, Griffith University Nathan Campus from 6.30pm to 9pm.

Expect an interactive event, with inspiring speakers, documentary and group discussion.

To illustrate inequality of food distribution worldwide, participants will receive a meal at random which may simply be rice and beans or it may even be a two course meal for the lucky few. It’s luck which determines where you will sit and what meal you’ll receive!

The public are welcome to attend, with the opportunity to learn and experience world hunger.

Tickets are $8 for early bird registration or $10 on the night.  All funds will be donated to the Griffith University Enactus Microfinance Projects in Vietnam, which helps local Vietnamese entrepreneurs and farmers improve business and vegetable crops.

So come along and bring your friends for a unique and memorable night!
