Students Break Bread to Act on AIDS

The Westmont student group Act on AIDS is hosting a Broken Bread Poverty Meal Tuesday, March 11, at 5 p.m. on Westmont’s Kerrwood Lawn. The benefit dinner, sponsored through World Vision, will allow students, faculty and the public to identify with families and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS and hunger around the world by coming together to eat a meal of porridge and share a night of fellowship and discussion on the subjects of AIDS and hunger.

Donations will be taken to raise money for HIV/AIDS orphans in Malawi.

The group will display information about different countries and their struggle in battling HIV/AIDS and hunger. Everyone will also be given cards that tell the story of different children affected by the epidemics.

“We hope that through the event people can better identify with HIV/AIDS and hunger and grow to become more compassionate and active in the fight for justice,” says sophomore Christina Lundberg, chair of the Act on AIDS group on campus.
