PROVO — The public is invited to Brigham Young University's annual Hunger Banquet Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in 3220 Wilkinson Student Center.
Tickets are $6 in advance and $8 at the door and are available for purchase at the student-center information desk.
The banquet is a 15-year tradition. This year it will have international performing groups, a simulation of real-world wealth distribution and a guest lecture on international development by Ko Bo Kyi, a former political prisoner from Burma and co-founder of the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
On both nights, participants will receive either a typical low-income meal, a typical middle-income meal or a typical high-income meal. The distribution of the meals will be approximately the same as the actual economic distribution in the world.
