As I type this blog, we are 4 hours and 45 minutes into our fast. We are perticipating in the 30 Hour Famine for the first time. World Vision puts on the event every year.
What is the 30 Hour Famine, you ask? It is a fund raiser where all of the money raised goes to feeding children in Africa. $1 feeds 1 child for 1 day. As students fast, they raise money by telling people about the 30 Hour Famine. It also gives all who participate in the fast, more of an idea about the mass-starvation that is taking place everyday in our world.
Basicially, we are learning about hunger, starvation and famine and raising funds to help combat the problem.
Our fast ends at 6:00pm on Thursday the 3rd. We are breaking it together at Jason's Deli. Meet there at 6:30.
We will start collecting all of the money that will be raised on Sunday the 6th.
For more info, see World Vision's website.
Thanks.
