Anyone interested in supporting the 40 hour famine?
What is it?
The 40 Hour Famine is one of Australia’s largest youth fundraising events. It encourages young people to give up food or something else that matters for 40 hours (or 8 hours if you're in primary school), to raise funds for World Vision projects that assist children living in the world’s poorest countries. In 2009, funds raised in the 40 Hour Famine will go to help those suffering the effects of the Global Food Crisis.
Who does the 40 Hour Famine help?
Hungry children living in the world’s poorest countries...
Currently there are over 900 million chronically hungry people around the world, and approximately 1.4 billion live in extreme poverty. Malnourished children are more likely to die from ordinary illnesses like diarrhoea, malaria, tuberculosis and respiratory disease. 25,000 children die from hunger and preventable diseases every day.
Children are under threat of starvation and are most vulnerable when times get tough. Hunger denies children their basic right to adequate food and nutrition.
