The Famine Lunch was launched as part of the S.1 renewed syllabus, intended to provide the S.1 students with a religious experiential learning opportunity, integrating values education (knowledge) into Lenten abstinence. The lunch programme for S.1 students was opened to interested students of other levels and Katso members. Two lay missionaries of the Hong Kong Catholic Lay Missionary Society were invited to share their missionary experience in Cambodia, adding spiritual nutrition to the Famine Lunch.
