Causes

Tonight my college hosted the annual Empty Bowls event.  This dinner is sponsored by the department that I work for, but anyone in the community can come to it.  The gist of the night is that people buy tickets for $10 to attend and all of the proceeds go to the local food bank.  In return, the customers receive a handmade bowl and soup.  The bowls are donated by student crafts and local potters while the soup is entered into a contest.  And boy did people put out their best.  I had some corn and potato chowder and it was scrumptious.  The bowel is pretty too.

I just realized that I had typed bowels instead of bowl every time.   I changed it now, but it is kinda funny if read Empty Bowels.

Another cause I feel deserves some attention is the Kony 2012 campaign started by Invisible Children.  I heard this man speak at GSP in 2009 and felt something for this cause, but I haven’t heard much about it since then.  I am glad he is trying to make radical change.  The video is well worth watching which is why I want to post it on here as well.  It is sorta long, but there are many cute children and it has a great message.  Something needs to be done, and if this is the way it can be done, I say go for it.

I’ll probably make a more informed blog about this tomorrow or Friday when I do not have a looming Judaism test on my head.
