The Hunger Banquet is soon approaching we are making the programmes for the event in the next couple of days. Hopefully it will look good. We have found a caterer who will be serving Somalian food which correlates with our 'theme'.
The reason as I briefly said before that we are doing this is so that we can not only raise awareness about what is going on for the last year in the Horn of Africa about this terrible drought which has caused one of the biggest famines in history but to raise money for famine relief.
The main idea of our event is so that we can show all the people who are attending that there are many different classes in today's society. Sadly the biggest class in the world right now ranking at 60% is the low class and the poverty class. 60% of our entire population, that is a substantial number.
The agenda of the night is to once people arrive is to give them their class whether it be low, middle or high and once they have received that we will show them into the MPR where the event will be taking place. The way that everyone will be divided is to have as previously said the low, middle or high class the low class which will be 60% of our audience will be sitting on kengas on the floors and get very minimal food for dinner, whilst they are there we will have the middle class in very basic tables and chair along with a very basic meal while the high class will be sitting in a proper dinning area and given proper Somalian food.
Right outside of the MPR is going to be a silent auction with various materials such as artwork, candy etc that would be auctioned off. After a certain amount of time we will close of all auctions and present the various winners with their prizes. Whilst this is all happening there will be entertainment and speakers such as Mr. Orth-Moore and the Somalian Ambassador who will be addressing this matter. The entertainment will include several students performing on ISK's behalf and also a group of Somalian dancers who will be doing a traditional Somalian dance.
Everything seems to be getting put into place slowly but surely. Hopefully the night will also go as well as we have planned it to go. So far we have sold around 150 tickets so far hopefully we can sell all of them and have a full house!!
