Hunger awareness hits
home for students
By Felicia Skriver
The Clackamas Print
Hunger awareness is
Brought
to - Clackamas
Community C ollcge by the
efforts of die associated stu
dent government and the
Oxfam organization. Oxfam
was founded in 1995 by a
group of independent non
governmental organizations.
The group is an international
confederation composed of
17 different organizations net
worked together in 92 couh-
tries. <
The event on May 31
was coordinated to make out
population aware of the strik
ing hunger problem that not
only affects foreign countries,
but also how it nits home in
Clackamas County.
“I was low-income at'ohe
time so I feel its'm y duty to
give back what I can,” said stu
dent Susan Wonderfy. “I think
everyone should be aware of
hunger.”
The structure o f the event
was designed so that when one
would check-in for the lun
cheon, they would receive a
card that specified what class
of citizen they were to he. The
lower class would sit on the
fhxir and middle class at tables.
As the rows o f tables got closer
to the back wall die classes rose
The amount and varieties
of the lunches were also orga
nized according to class. The
high income diners were served
every food group. They enjoyed
a variety of beverages, deli sand
wiches and fresh fruit. These
lunch goers were also served
promptly while the other class
es had to wait to have their
mtals that at diL lowest income
level was1 a ladle of communal
water and one spoonful of plain
white rice. These poorest of the
attendees also had to wait me
longest to satiate their hunger.
