This year, world vision has provided us with the ability to accept

online donations for the 30 Hour Famine. The money raised through these

donations will go towards helping families and communities in Africa.

To donate, one can just go to my page https://myfamine.worldvision.ca/Fami...e.aspx?id=7184 , click "donate now" and fill out the sheet of information. Thank you very much to anyone that donates.
 
are you doing it? im confused. props to whover though.

i couldnt eat anything solid and VERY little liquids for a week and a half while i had/recovered from intestinal surgery. it was fuckin terrible.
 
yeah I'm doing it. it's through a group at my school... A week and a half must have sucked. Last year when I did the famine we only had three relatively small portions of rice and water and that made me feel pretty sucked out of energy.
 
a 30 hour famine is not a famine. Its called mono. If you want to draw attention you actually need to do something.

Gandhi's famine's worked because he actually went on a famine, I am talking days, not hours. try a 3 day famine, thats actually hard on you.

the idea is to make a self sacrifice, 30 hours with out eating may be a bit different from our daily life, but it is really not that extreeme.
 
a 30 hour famine? its called being sick and not eating.

im an ass sorry. but to expect people to donate money over teh interwebz for something like this is hilarious.
 
I loled at this 30 hour famine thing on the news, sorry im a dick. But really, its like those kids that raise money by living in a box for a week in chicago.
It just seems so ass backwards to me, would you really put yourself in a wheelchair to make a handicapped person feel better? no it demeans them
either way ima donate
 
thank you to srslyfresh if he donates, and I wouldn't focus on the 30 hour famine part, it's just what the organization (world vision) calls it. So if you have heard of it at all, or even took the time to read anything on the site before criticizing, you would understand it is not me or my school trying to raise a point, it is run through a (i'm assuming) world wide organization. So there it really has nothing to do with me or my school other than the fact that we are trying to raise money and awareness.
 
So if someone is trying to be charitable and raise money for those less fortunate, why should they be criticized? As I understand it, the point of the 30 hour famine is to raise awareness, raise funds, and experience (for a little bit, anyway) what people who go without food for extended periods of time feel like. Y'all need to calm down.
