Resourceful Women Fight Hunger: A Simulation of the State of Poverty in honor of Hunger Awareness Day
The Community Informatics project's four research foci - popular education, networking building and change, social simulation, and participatory design - are being joined together for a very special purpose: to educate and inform the community of Troy about the realities of hunger and poverty, and to empower people to make positive social change.

Hunger Awareness Day is a day to call for an end to hunger and its causes. In its honor, WYMSM, the YWCA of Troy-Cohoes, the Hunger Awareness Day Steering Committee, and the RPI COPC are hosting ROWEL's "State of Poverty" welfare simulation to educate legislators, city officials, students, and other community members about what it takes for low-income individuals and families on welfare to survive from month to month. If you are in the area, please join us for this fun and fascinating experience! Thursday, March 21, 2002,
3 - 6 PM For more information, contact the YWCA at 518/274-7100. Download the flyer for this event (at right) here: [ROWELflyer.pdf] (460 K) More research:
