read about the 30 hour famine at www.worldvision.ca, i am a group leader in calgary alberta canada looking for supporters. basically, we would not eat for 30 hours to symbolize the suffering of people and children around the world who must go to bed every night hungry, and we collect donations to go towards programs at our famine will be held april 1-2, 2005, i have put up posters in my community and school, got my leadership and social studies classes involved, and have one company donating bottled water. It only takes $1 to feed a child for a day! our goal is $365 to feed a child for one year, we have plenty of participators but no donations so far! I had heard some rumours of previous famines held in say, gymnasiums to be unproffessional. I have started my own group to involve those who are apprehensive about a larger, more public group. If you have attended one of these events (in any city) or are in the calgary area and need me to email you additional information, please contact me at magill@happyhippie.com, i would love to hear your advice, or your experience as a human rights activist!

OUR VISION FOR EVERY CHILD, LIFE IN ALL ITS FULLNESS OUR PRAYER FOR EVERY HEART,THE WILL TO MAKE IT SO

More famine in this world leads to starvation an people getting slimmer,fighting for a good cause is always benefical for people.

Edit:when U have a thought once,exploit it,U never know when one may turn up again:)

i'm doing a 24 hour famine because our church is sponsoring a girl in africa and i'm raising money to send to her so she can train to be a teacher and get a job to feed her family....
