40 Hour Famine is running this year, and I hope to be a lot more commited and raise a lot more money than my pathetic effort and money haul of last year.
40 Hour Famine is a great thing to get involved with, and helps to solve the Global Food Crisis and bring awareness to the fact that there are a billion people starving on this globe. A billion people. That is like, okay, this is where my math fails...okay, put it this way. THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA is about 22 million. Put it into prospective - that is a shitload of people.
This year, I plan to give up shoes (thongs (flip flops) only), makeup (only cleanser, moisturizer and clear lip balm allowed), technology (computer, ipod, radio, phone, cell phone, TV, kettle, microwave), tea, coffee, meat, dairy, SOY SAUCE, sugar, honey, shopping, (I'm Asian - giving up soy sauce is like giving up...gold), junk food, furniture (bed, tables and chairs) and baths (I will shower, though!) - things I love and rely on the most - for forty hours. I am participating as part of my school, so all money I raise will go towards the school total.
I hope this year I can involve my blog somehow - as in, my readers can donate to my 40 Hour Famine if they wish. I will try and set this up with my school, and I will post details if I can manage this.
I hope you all consider taking part in the 40 Hour Famine, it's a great cause helping people in need. Peace.
