Seventeen teams lined up for the inaugural Energy Against Hunger Challenge 30.10.14 - a super tough 5km obstacle course.
Together we're aiming to raise £20,000 in support of The Hunger Project's work in 17,000 villages across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.
Give us a hand to reach the target - www.justgiving.com/teams/energy-against-hunger
Who will emerge victorious from the muddiest trenches, cargo net climbs, tyre walls, pontoon lake crossings and the unforgettable Hell River to be crowned the top corporate, legal, accounting, banking or advisory team in the sector?

In order to snap this pic I wonder what should be able to open their mouths. Touching the nest has no result at all. But blowing air sofly as the mother's wings... there it was!
Here is a picture of myself and a bunch of my co-workers at the big Hunger Games party and advanced screening at our store. I am the one on the right of the back row. (Oh and I made the HG District 12 shirts we are all wearing!)
The hors d'oeurves were well received.

"The lrish Hunger Memorial is designed to raise public awareness of the events that led to the famine of 1845-52 and to encourage efforts to address current and future hunger worldwide. One and a half million Irish were lost through famine related death and the Diaspora. The design expresses a desire to react and respond to changing world events without losing its focus on the project's commemorative intent. Central to Tolle's project is an authentic Famine-era cottage donated to the Memorial by his extended family, the Slacks of Attymass, County Mayo, Ireland. The cottage has been painstakingly reconstructed on the Memorial's halfacre site as an expression of solidarity to those who left from those who stayed behind. From the cottage, visitors to the Memorial meander along paths winding through a rugged landscape thickly planted with native Irish flora-plants often found growing in fallow fields. Ascending to an overlook twenty-five feet above the ground, the visitor confronts a breath-taking view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island beyond.This landscape is cantilevered over a stratified base of glass and fossilized Irish limestone, presenting a theater of historical and modern sentiments about famine worldwide. Layers of mutable text, appearing beyond touch as shadows upon the glass, wrap around the exterior of the Memorial and into the passageway leading to the cottage while accounts of world hunger are heard from an audio installation overhead.
Brian Tolle is an internationally renowned sculptor and public artist. His recent public works include Waylay for the Whitney Biennel in Central Park (2002), Man's Achievements on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe for the Queens Museum of Art (2001) and WitchCatcher at MetroTech Center Brooklyn (1997) reinstalled in New York City Hall Park (2003). Using a variety of media, his works draw themes from the scale and experience of their surroundings provoking a re-reading by cross-wiring reality and fiction. In much of his work he uses cutting-edge technology in unexpected ways, blurring the border between the contemporary and the historical."

Bucharest a few weeks after the overthrow of Ceaușescu. People everywhere are demonstrating, celebrating, assembling and enjoying their new-found freedom. But here is a group on hunger strike.

This memorial is off to the side, in a park, right before the Lavra. The enormous candle, decorated with wooden lace, stands in memory of the millions of people who died in the Holodomor --the Terror Famine.
Stalin and his Soviet government want to collectivise the farms --especially in the fertile steppes of Ukraine. To force this collectivisation, he basically made owning food illegal. Watchtowers sprung up in wheat fields to monitor peasants as they worked. In the years 1932-33 the population declined substantially --conservative estimates say over 1.5 million, but the number is probably bigger.
It is suggested that this was done for not just for ideological purposes, but for political and financial gain. The Cossacks and the vast array of ethnic groups (some of my own family among them) were resisting the Soviet vice that was squeezing them. Hunger, even death, would force the Ukranian population into embracing the Soviet plan. At the same time, Stalin flooded the foreign markets with Ukrainian grain and shunned all offers of help to feed the starving people.
Terrible stories have emerged from the time of Holodomor: people digging up the bones of dead and decaying animals and even resorting to cannibalism.
The memorial entrance is flanked by two angels. The young girl, holding five symbolic wheat heads, and surrounded by grindstones, precedes the candle memorial. We visited the memorial several times. On the second day, at the girl's feet. were red roses and small breads.
The memorial itself is over a museum to commemorate the Holodomor. Outside there are 3 plaques to remember the three famines. The first, 1921-22 was the famine that pushed my own family to Canada. Some stayed. My Great Aunt Emma and her family would have lived through that terrible time as possibly would have my Great Aunt Lydia.
