Do you know what the 40 hour famine is? Well the students from Point England school had a chance to get implicated in the 40 hour famine for 2012. The 40 hour famine includes no eating or drinking junk food, or you can either choose to have no electrician.
Everyone had to try and achieve the goal of $50.00. So far I have only saved $72.70 and I am gaining to get more. The 40 hour famine is all about helping not only adults but children in Mali and Niger. They use an irrigation system that is attached to a huge tank and when it rains all the water goes into the tank and waters their crops. Mali and Niger is located in the west of Africa and is one of the 2 poorest countries in the world.
The 40 hour famine crew met a famous actress and the leader of the blue team, Ido Drent. If you are not too sure who he is check out his website below.

At exactly 12:00 the 40 hour famine started at school on a Friday afternoon. Well let’s just say that we didn’t have to starve for 40 hours we only had to participate in this for only 20 hours. “That was a relief!”I said to myself. I am supporting the BLUE team this year but for the sleepover at my school I was in team RED. We slept in the library and ate these special kind of lollies called Barley Sugars, juice and water.
This year is my first year for participating in the 40 hour famine. It was a great opportunity to help other people in 2 particular countries. Next year for college I would love to do this again.
Thanks to David who helped edit my witting. If are maybe thinking about doing this amazing event next year then just remember to GO HARD OUT FOR THE HUNGRY!

Hi Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteI remember when you went around trying to get people to sponsor. Some people wanted to, and some people didn't. I also remember how people gave you $10.
Keep up the great writing.
