Food For Funds (FFF) 2007
On October 16, 2007, the world will be commemorating World Food Day (WFD). While others will have more than enough to eat, others will be dying of hunger. What an unequal world.
On that day, HINT will launch a program that we call Food For Funds (FFF). We are asking that you bring together 3 or more people or as many as you can bring together for a meal. You will eat together with your group members and then discuss ways to effective end hunger in the world. We will invite you and your group members to share your thoughts on this website by using the form below. We will also be asking that you and your group members make donations to help with HINT’s poverty alleviation projects.
