Eat for Equity with OAC-MN

On Saturday, April 23rd, OAC-MN will be hosting an Eat for Equity event to benefit Oxfam America. Eat for Equity is a local grassroots organization that meets once a month for dinner and drinks to benefit a good cause. E4E describes itself by saying: "We bring people together around good food to raise money for good. Friends and friends of friends come together, eat, and drink - and in coming together, manage to do some small good for a community larger than themselves. Each month, we cook food from a specific country and raise money for an organization working in that part of the world. We eat drink, do good, and be merry."
At the dinner, we will be enjoying food from El Salvador such as Pupusas, Curtido, Pollo Guisado, and Horchata.  In El Salvador, Oxfam America is working to foster democracy by creating a bridge between the Salvadorian government and its citizens as well as building wells that are tightly sealed to keep out contamination due to flooding.
Special bonus of the evening...Salsa lessons!
