Hey guys its Dan here from VGen NSW! This year has been my first doing the 40 Hour famine. I gave up food and I’m not going to lie, it was difficult. After attending the NSW Vision Group training day on the Global Food Crisis in July, I knew I had to go back and get my whole school on board, so I did just that!
This has been the first time my school has done the 40 Hour famine in a few years. The famine has been a great success. Around 100 students and even a teacher had participated. Getting feedback from various students I can see a lot of money will be raised. Some raised $10, some $50, some $200-300.
My motivation for the famine was a quote by astronaut Buzz Aldrin, “If we can conquer space, we can conquer childhood hunger”. 1 billion people are affected by the Global Food Crisis; this quote inspired me to not give up hope. One day we will conquer hunger, just like we conquered space.
So everyone good luck in your endeavours and keep doing what you’re doing!
