This weekend our youth group (years 6 - 11) has taken on the challenge of World Vision’s 40 hour famine. For 40 hours, each member has chosen something to give up, ranging from food, furniture or even technology, in an effort to raise money and help fight hunger in the world. You can imagine the commitment and dedication it takes to give one of these up!
The 40 Hour Famine funds projects that fight hunger in:
- East Timor
- Nepal
- Cambodia
- Laos
- Tanzania
- Kenya
- and helps World Vision to respond to emergencies and other needs around the world, including the current famine relief campaign in East Africa.
These projects are working to increase reliable access to food and clean water; develop livelihoods through micro-enterprise development and training; and invest in agricultural education and development.
We would appreciate your financial support - please think about sponsoring our group. Speak to Jessica Sanders or Andy Buchan, or visit http://40hf.com/tmbyouth and donate online.
