30 Hour Famine

Well, let's just say it was hard... but totally worth it.

It gave me something to think about, people in Africa (even in America) mostly eat without food for days even weeks. i don't know how they can do it. it's hard even drinking TONS of juice and i mean TONS. and starving people aometimes don't even have juice or any other drink.

While, before, and after the 30 hour famine my youth group and i raised money for children in Africa. We played a "survial" game in which you got a card and it told you what tribe you were from, what "disese" you had, and then you had to play an intire game without using a part of your body. i lost my foot, so i had to hop around on one single foot through the whole game. that was hard. and on the card it told a story of a child that had the same "diesese" has you. it hurt to find out that a little girl that was 7 years old had lost a leg because she drank "uncooked" water.

25,000 kids ages 5 and under die everyday from poverty, hunger, and disease. 14,000 kids die from hunger alone everyday. Every seven seconds, another child dies from hunger.

I'm very glad i did the 30 hour famine.
