EXHIBIT
Located within Children’s Hunger Fund, Poverty Encounter is a 16,000 square foot exhibit that takes you into four immersive environments in the developing world. Each environment highlights the story of a real child living in these circumstances. Onsite tours include a service activity, allowing you to respond biblically by providing both help and hope to those in need.
Countries
After “boarding a plane” in a simulated flight, guests will then be guided through four different immersive environments of poverty: a garbage dump in Guatemala, the earthquake damaged the streets of Haiti, a brickyard in Nepal, and an underground sewer in Romania.
STORIES
At Poverty Encounter, guests hear from Bruno as he shares what it is like to live and work in an open dumpsite. Jasmine describes how her entire life changed in just 35 seconds after a 7.0 earthquake destroyed her city. Abiral explains how a brickyard trapped his family in a cycle of bonded labor. Hear how these children find hope despite these difficult circumstances and learn how families are being cared for through the work of the local church.
