[Dylan West]: Alright, hey everybody my name is Dylan West and I'm with Christian Student
Fellowship here at Penn State University at State College, Pennsylvania. Christian Student
Fellowship and Schreyer Honors College will be teaming together with Stop Hunger Now,
which is an international, non-profit hunger relief organization. So right now we are starting
to collect donations... we have a table set up in the HUB. Any donation that you can give,
you can receive a free wristband or a lanyard. And our goal is to raise twenty five thousand
dollars so that we can prepare and package 100,000 meals that we send impoverished countries
around the world. What's really neat about Stop Hunger Now is that they specifically
target school feeding programs and orphanages so that the money we raise will be provided
to students and parents. And families will be encouraged to send their kids to school
in order to receive the meal. Not only are they going to receive they nourishment from
the meals, but also they'll be given educational opportunities which is really important as
well. So for every dollar that we raise, that's 4 Stop Hunger meals that we can prepare and
package. And our big event will take place Saturday, October 19th, 2013, right upstairs
in Alumni Hall in the HUB. And we're looking for as much help and support as possible.
So any contribution that you can give is a huge help for us reaching our goal. Thanks
so much!
