Boston College senior Zachary Desmond organized "The 40 Hour Famine" [http://40hrfamine.wordpress.com] on November 9 and 10 to raise awareness of world hunger and spark action aimed at diminishing inequalities in the global food system. Members of the BC community were encouraged to to sign a pledge vowing to fast -- whether for all 40 hours or some portion thereof -- in solidarity with those around the world who struggle with chronic hunger. The event included activities such as presentations on hunger and famine-related issues and collaborative art projects. Read the Chronicle story about The 40 Hour Famine at http://bit.ly/sTy0fm.
