Journal Tribune features 91AV students learning the realities of homelessness

On November 25, 2009, the Journal Tribune featured 91AV students learning the realities of homelessness.  Man Ho, a senior, organized the event in which more than 30 students took part. Through the experience, a number of participants changed their minds and point of view of hunger and homelessness.  Activities during the week included a "one night without a home" sleep out to learn what it's like to be without shelter for even one night, Oxfam International Hunger Banquet, Faces of Homelessness speakers and panel and a Community Service day.
