40hr Famine

Hi everyone,

I'm doing the 40hr famine this year (21-23 August), which is raising money to help people who've been hit by the global food crisis. There are currently more than 900 million chronically hungry people around the world, and approximately 1.4 billion in extreme poverty. That's awful.

Please sponsor me! I'm going without food for 40hrs, and our youth group is trying to raise $1000. Every $40 helps 5 children for 1 month. Please donate whatever you can! It's one little way we can make things a bit fairer in our world.

Click on the box on the right if you would like to give something. Anything is good - I think $2 is the minimum for online. Thanks!

Ben

  1. Um, doesn't the title of your post totally contradict the idea of the 40 hour famine?

  2. True. Better change that! I didn't think of it that way. Lucky I've got an editor.
