The Association will hold a fundraising dinner to aid victims of Hunger in Africa. The dinner will be held on Nov. 10, 2008.
The hunger crisis is one that affected many in Africa and all over the world. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan speaking on World Food Day (Oct 16, 2008) said “10,000 children in the Third World would die from malnutrition before the day was out.” This, he said “should be seen as a tragedy as great as the collapse of a bank”.” Mr. Annan added, “The financial crisis deserves urgent attention, but so does hunger. Millions are liable to die, is that any less urgent?”
Dinner tickets are $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for children (5-12). Two sittings will be available at 5.00 and 6.30pm. Take out orders are also available with free delivery for four or more orders. Chemical valley plants will also receive free delivery. The dinner will be buffet style with items from the Middle East and South Asian cuisine. Tickets are available at Degroot’s Nurseries, Dino's Pizza, Rangoon International Foods and Sarnia Muslim Association (519) 541-1335
