Elisabeth&#8217;s encounter with the global The Hunger Project (THP) in San Francisco, founded in 1977, was decisive. For several years, in addition to her studies in California, she was involved in the special kind of educational work that THP had developed and recorded in the so-called &#8220;Source Document&#8221;. After her return to Switzerland and on a tip from the office in San Francisco, Elisabeth and Elly Cantor got to know each other personally. Elly had become aware of the THP globally through a small group in Kitzb\u00fchel\/A that was already involved. Both women were convinced, even enthusiastic about the methodical approach and the ambitious goal &#8220;A world without hunger by the year 2000&#8243;. They were ready to commit themselves to this message and countless volunteer hours.<br \/>\nAt the time, hardly anyone was talking about the tragedy of chronic hunger that was killing 35,000 people a day. Both women wanted people to realize three basic things. 1. that hunger exists, killing every day. 2. that it must never be forgotten, and 3. that it must become a political and economic priority.<br \/>\nThe San Francisco office offered various support to the Hunger Project Switzerland &#8211; certainly ideally, but never financially.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<div class=\"qode_vertical_separator\" style=\"height: 40px;width: 4px;background-color: #0011aa\">\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4332&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>1990 &#8211; Travelling Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The travelling exhibition is launched at the book fair in Geneva.

In between, the documentary film by David Syz &#8220;Hunger-Enough is Not Enough&#8221; was shown. The Hunger Project was represented in the first panel discussion by Leni Rieppel, Country Director of Germany, and by a well-placed information booth. Leni Rieppel represented The Hunger Project&#8217;s point of view that affected people recognize their own potential, their own abilities, overcome their resignation and express the will to want to change their future independently.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<div class=\"qode_vertical_separator\" style=\"height: 40px;width: 4px;background-color: #0011aa\">\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4324&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>2013 &#8211; <\/strong><strong>Event &#8220;Women&#8217;s quota &#8211; what does it mean globally?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On March 12, The Hunger Project Switzerland and Germany, together with the organization Fraueninfo, hosted an event with short presentations by the well-known former President of the German Bundestag, Rita S\u00fcssmuth, and the Indian Country Director of The Hunger Project, Rita Sarin.
