30 hours famine

Harlow guys and girls,

if you're observant enough, you might have noticed the 30 hour famine booth at SAO concourse since last week. hmm~ so, just a little something to let you ponder upon~

What is this 30 hour famine all about?
why do i have to know and why should i take part or donate money to it?
acTually, it is a charity event organized by World Vision( a christian organization) with the main purpose of helping the children in hunger and reaching out to them. therefore the donation will go to children all over the world who struggles for survival because of poverty.

Have you ever stopped for a moment to think of your life, your blessed life?
How blessed for you to live in this country, to be able to have a family, to have education, and to even have a chance of knowing God in your lifetime.

Most of your worries would be on your examinations, your relationship with your friends……….While their worries, would be whether they can survive through the hunger of the next meal, whether any of their family members will be one of those who died out of hunger.

You do not have to worry about whether you will get your next meal. No worries of whether you will be sold off in exchange for a pack of rice for your family’s survival. No worries of being sent to the orphanage because your parents cannot afford to feed you. But THEY DO.

Life is full of choices. Live something larger than yourself. Help to save lives, at the same time, get closer to God and closer to people. Experience it yourself~
Be Seen, Be Heard, Be Hungry! Do the Famine!

“The magnitude of the problem can seem overwhelming sometimes, but we need to remember that it is solved one person at a time; and we can all be that ONE PERSON for someone else. “
~Dave Toycen (World Vision Canada)

Experience something different and save lives~! :)
