The other day at my youth group I signed up to participart in a World Vision fundraising event that helps hungry kids in third-world nations. It's called the 30-Hour Famine. And yes, that means NOT EATING FOR 30 HOURS.

 

NOT EATING FOR 30 HOURS.

 

Heck, I can hardly go thirty minutes. :P

I don't mean to sound offensive... But how does not eating help those who don't have food? You won't be getting any food to eat, and it's not like you're sending any to "them."

... how about the money they raise? ;)

 

... youth group members raise money through donors and sponsors to help the millions of starving and hurting children in some of the world's poorest countries, offering them a hope they could not otherwise have.

I think it's like running a marathon...

 

Well, good luck.

I wondered that at first too. ;)

 

Basically, you fundraise while fasting. Don't ask me why you couldn't raise money while eating, but that's how the thing works. :P

Well, yeah, sayin' that from the get-go would've been helpful. :rolleyes: Or that there's a website (I'm supposed to know that how, Biomech...? Methinks I made it obvious I never heard of this). Well... Do what ya want, I was just inquirin'. The fundraisin' is nice, though.

I'd never heard of it either, so I did a simple Google search for "30 Hour Famine". =D
