March 25, 2012–Big weekend for a lot of people out there, especially those who are fans of the bestselling novel series, “The Hunger Games,” by one Suzanne Collins. The feature film based on the bestselling first book in the series was released this past Friday, with sell out ticket sales and lineups for midnight showings across Canada. I’m not going to lie, I really did enjoy the books and have reread them in anticipation of seeing the movie as soon as the crowds die down. In honour of the release of the movie and rereading the series, I’ve decided to blog about something “hunger” related today.
Although not officially related to or affiliated with the franchise in any way, Hunger Relief International (HRI) is a fantastic non-profit making big strides in getting food into the bellies of those in need across the globe. Their overall goal is to alleviate the impact of hunger beyond simply putting food on the table. The food that they provide in natural and highly nutritious, and most importantly, locally produced. By using locally produced food for their provided meals to the malnourished children and families they serve, HRI stimulated the growth and economy of the regions in which they are working, which currently is Haiti and Guatemala.
