The University of the Virgin Islands Cooperative Extension Service (UVI-CES) will begin its World Food Day observance with a ‘Hunger Banquet,’ which is open to 4th through 9th graders, representatives from the Department of Education and other community leaders. The banquet is made possible through the generous support of Rotary Club of St. Croix Mid-Isle. These groups will join UVI-CES in this unique event and experience the challenges of poverty and world hunger. Activities will continue from noon until 6 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 14, on the grounds of the UVI campus on St. Croix.
