The
Bonner Leaders Program at Lees- McRae College in Banner Elk, NC is
holding a week full of events in conjunction with National Hunger
and Homelessness Week. The week officially begins November 14th and
runs through Nov. 20th. The purpose of National Hunger and Homelessness
Week is to draw awareness to these two critical issues. In an effort
to make people more aware of the situation, several interactive events
will be held. While no one can truly understand the situation unless
they are in it, programs like the Oxfam Hunger Banquet, 24 Hour Fast
and Homeless Shanty allow students to participate in hunger and homelessness
simulations. We are also sponsoring the movie "Pay It Forward"
in hopes of spreading the power of the human spirit all across the
Lees-McRae campus. Hunger and Homelessness are serious problems in
the United States as well as in the rest of the world. By bringing
events like these to college campuses, every student can participate
in spreading awareness about these issues.
