2010 30-hour Famine

Second time joining 30-Hour Famine DIY camp.....
Date: 21-22 August 2010
Venue: SMJK (C) Serdang Baru 1
there would a countdown event for the last 4 hours at Putra Indoor Stadium....

It is a global movement against hunger and poverty
organised by World Vision.....
Some other countries have already done this earlier than Malaysia....
The theme for this year is Urban Poverty.........

We could donate any amount we wish to 30-Famine....
But for joining the camp and countdown event, we have to raise Famine fund of minimum
-Rm80 for students....
- Rm120 for working adults
- Rm50 for kids...
The funds will help care for the urban children in Thailand and Myanmar, fight HIV/AIDS in China and improve the lives of senior citizens, orphans and people living with disablilities in Malaysia....

In this camp, all the participants would be fasting for 30 hours......
for kids of 4-12 years old.....they would only be fasting for 8 hours.....
the oldest camper in our camp was a 60-year-old grandma.....
this means anyone of you could join the event.....

we were not sitting and waiting for the time to pass......
there were activities for us to experience the life of a street kid....
Watched the video about urban poverty in real life.....
We were not allowed to bathe in this food-less 30 hours....

In the last 4 hours....
we all went to the countdown event......
there were quite many celebrities joined the event.....
singing and sharing the info about the life of the poor....
video and simple game to let us learn about global issues.....

it's ok if you have missed this event....
you still can help lighting up the lives of the poor.....
by sponsoring a child or making a donation.....
