World Vision 40 Hour Famine 2019
The 40 Hours Famine is back again this year, and now is the time to sign up!
The 40 Hour Famine New Zealand is an annual fundraiser event, first held in 1975. It is organised by World Vision, a humanitarian aid organisation which works in 97 countries and that supplies emergency relief, education, health care and economic development to those in need. This year the 40 Hour Famine is in support of the South Sudanese children refugees. Money raised goes towards providing these children with clean water, food, healthcare, education and emotional support.
From the relative safety of our first world country it is hard to imagine the terrible events that these children - who are our age and just like us - have experienced. During the 40 Hour Famine you can experience a small part of what the refugee children of South Sudan have by giving up something (it could be food, technology, speaking, etc.) for 40 hours. Alternatively, you could decide to do something for 40 hours - 40 hours of bicep curls, I reckon!
This year the 40 Hour Famine is taking place from 8pm on Friday 7th June to midday on Sunday 9th. You can get involved now by signing up to participate in the famine yourself, or by making a donation to someone else who is.
Get involved, and have fun!
