30 Hour Famine 2010
Posted by admin on March 9, 2010
CLICK HERE FOR FAMINE PERMISSION SLIP
What: 30 Hour Famine is an annual event that raises awareness for world hunger and poverty. Students fast (i.e. go without food) for 30 hours; only water and juice are allowed. In addition, students ask friends, classmates, teachers, etc. to sponsor them with a donation amount for fasting. This money will all go to World Vision, a Christian organization committed to meeting global needs.
Why:
- Because in America, most of us have everything we ever could need or want, and we don’t know what it feels like to lack food.
- Because it forces us to remember that people in the world go hungry every day.
- Because we are reminded that we CAN do something about it.
- Because we need to get out of our comfort zones and learn to serve other people.
When: April 9-10, 2019 (Friday-Saturday)
