lol~ there's absolutely NO health problem.. hahah~
its only 30 hours.. and its a committment We go through the pain of hunger for only 30 hours while realizing that there are so many children.. even youger than us... who go without food for more than 30 hours... and to them... its not a choice So its basically raising money for world hunger and no.. its not a fake program or nothing... because it's actually a very big successful organization who are truly bent on helping those children~ lol yes... i am doing the 30 hour famine~ gRaCe~! |

QUOTE(x_angawhomps @ Jan 31 2005, 12:14 AM) I can try. When is it? Or whatever? Give me more info! Here is the website: 30 Hour Famine It will be on Feb. 25-26, 2005 It's not about just starving yourself.. you join this program with other people (usually at church) and you do community service and also get donors for example, you know those marathons and stuff.. you get people to pledge money and sponsor you.. and then you go run and do your thing.. and they pay up.. kinda like that... but like you get donors for raising money for world hunger and tell them that you're part of this program and you're not eating for 30 hours.. and explain it to them like that.. umm usually this is at church.. or maybe at schools too? you should join through them~ gRaCe~! |

heh okay so for people who are doing it...are u guys having trouble finding sponsors ? ^___^'' cuz i asked around and apparently everyone doesnt seem to care very much or are suspicious that im getting money for myself or that they cant trust world vision which is kind of sad...the biggest donor i have so far said he'll give me ten dollars =)
