In 2015 the UN instated an International Eradicating Hunger Day for all nations. On this day a meal is shared, through the use of social media, with people elsewhere in the world. This event is biannual and coincides with the winter and summer solstice.
The event is set up by the UN and families can sign up to share meals via Skype with other families around the world on this day. My family signs up and has a fundraiser for this event every year. We raise money for fighting world hunger and invite our neighbors over for the meal. This year we've been matched up with a family in Peru. Luckily we're on the same time zone so we'll both have our meal at 4:28. A few weeks before the meal we chat with the family via Skype and get to know each other a little. We then exchange our favorite traditional meals. We'll make theirs and they'll make ours.
The table for the space is 5x5 but another identical one can be connected to make more seating for guests. The chairs are big and comfy a couple of them are small sofas. The main idea of this space is comfort. We'll Skype with the other family on our mirror tv above the fireplace. This way, we share a meal and expand our cultural horizons...all while raising money to eradicate hunger.
