More of the 40 hour famine

So far, I have raised three dollars something for the forty hour famine, because there are people out there that aren't willing to simply give to people like Beatrice, who truly need the money. There are people who won't give anything unless they can be sure I'm doing something. They call people who try to raise awareness by going blindfolded and tie one arm and one leg behind their backs ridiculous. There are people out there who are constantly going around like that. Forty hours is a pittance compared to an entire lifetime.
But then there are people like a girl in my class at school who was only asked to give two dollars, but instead gave five with a smile. She did this because she wanted to. I think it's people like that we need to learn from.

What time is it?

This is a video about the global food crisis in Kenya and Cambodia. Sorry if it seems like I'm being pushy...... No scratch that. I'm not sorry. This is something I really care about and I don't mind if it feels like I'm shoving it down your throats. Please, please, please do something to help these poor children. THEY ARE STARVING!!!!

Right now we are in the middle of the biggest global food crisis ever. 900 000 000 kids are going chronically hungry. They try to attend school, but can't concentrate and are falling behind. Many can't attend school because they are too busy hunting for food or trying to earn money to buy it. There are women out there who spend all day collecting fire wood. On a good day they make $1. We make more than that sitting in an office for an hour. There are children who spend all month looking after cows to raise $2.50.

The first thing you notice about some of these children are their beautiful, long eyelashes. The second thing is how the eyes underneath them look empty and distant. A girl called Beatrice's favourite game is a cooking game. She plays it by making fake fires and using goat droppings. In her game there is always enough.

Please, donate some money to help these children. We don't need it nearly as much as they do.
