Hunger Banquet and Food Drive
A group of sophomore volunteers led fourth and fifth graders through a Hunger Banquet on Tuesday. After an introduction to food scarcity issues, the younger students were divided into upper, middle and lower income groups, with different meals for each group. The simulation and presentation helped them to understand the challenges of poverty around the world. Ellen Nora, executive director of Solomon House, spoke about her organization's efforts to help disadvantaged residents of Iberia Parish, and thanked the ESA students for their support. The Lafayette Campus is holding a food drive for Solomon House now through November 15th.
