We will be meeting in downstairs Colonnades (by the TV’s) at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 to eat and discuss how we expect our experience will shape our understanding of what it means to live in a world where so many have so little.

Please contact David Gagne at dgagne@elon.edu with any questions.

]]> National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week – Faces of Homelessness Panel – Nov. 15 /u/news/2010/11/14/national-hunger-and-homelessness-awareness-week-faces-of-homelessness-panel-nov-15/ Mon, 15 Nov 2010 02:44:00 +0000 /u/news/2010/11/14/national-hunger-and-homelessness-awareness-week-faces-of-homelessness-panel-nov-15/ The Faces of Homelessness Speakers’ Bureau is a program of the National Coalition for the Homeless that is comprised of people who are or have been homeless and works to educate the public about homelessness and what can be done to end it.

This approach is a unique and necessary tool because it establishes a significant platform for those whom homelessness affects directly to talk personally about their experiences.

Additionally, the Speakers’ Bureau creates opportunities for members to advocate for themselves and others, as well as build the necessary bridges with the rest of society so that we may work cooperatively to end this disgrace called homelessness.

The panel takes place in McKinnon Hall at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15, 2010.
