CHRISTIAN STUDY GUIDE – 2014 HUNGER REPORT

SESSION 5: REDUCING SOCIAL EXCLUSION
The Application
1. On newsprint, make three columns. In the
first column, list the things that a household can do to reduce the social exclusion
of others. In the second column, list the
ways that local communities can do so. In
the third column, list things that only the
government can do to reduce social exclusion. What do the lists have in common?
What power do members of your group
have to influence your own families, your
community, and your government?
2. Read Box 1.1 on page 40, and watch
Nadine’s story at www.hungerreport.org.
How are Sary’s (Box 1.1) and Nadine’s
situations similar? How are they different?
Where do you find hope in their stories?

The e-connect
Find Nadine’s video in the Featured Stories
page at www.hungerreport.org/profiles and
share it on Facebook, Twitter, or other social
networks. Urge your friends and followers to
think about how people have been pushed to
the margins of your community. How can you
be an advocate for them?
