DESCRIPTION:We're hosting a free screening of Africa's Last Famine along with an Oxfam 
 Hunger Banquet. RSVP now and join us!\n\nRSVP:  
 sanfrancisco@oxfamactioncorps.org\n\n\nScreening of Africa’s Last Famine, 
 a co-production of Oxfam America and LinkTV:\nSadly, World Food Day 2011 
 was marked by one of the worst famines in recent history. But, with the 
 right planning and a few new ideas, it could be the last. This 22 minute 
 film features recent stories from the Horn of Africa and beyond, and 
 including solutions being implemented around the world to prove that hunger 
 isn't inevitable.\n\nOxfam America Hunger Banquet:\nGuests randomly draw 
 tickets when they arrive that assign them to different income levels, based 
 on the latest statistics about the number of people living in poverty. 
 While not all guests leave with full stomachs, many will gain a new 
 perspective on the root causes of hunger and poverty—and will feel 
 motivated to do something to help.\n\nWhy?\nEveryone on earth has the same 
 basic needs; it is only our circumstances— where we live and the culture 
 into which we are born—that differ. Some are born into relative 
 prosperity and security, while millions, through no choice of their own, 
 are born into poverty.\n\nWe are all tied to a global food system that is 
 broken. Yet there is a strong and growing movement of individuals and 
 organizations working to repair and improve the system. In a world facing 
 the challenges of the current famine in East Africa, constrained land and 
 water, and an erratic climate, one of the best ways to combat global food 
 insecurity is to invest in farmers and remove the barriers that limit their 
 productivity. Please join us to learn more about the issues, the solutions, 
 and how you can help!\n
