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.
