My church participated in the 30 hour famine this weekend, and, well...wow.
There was another option this year other than just starving ourselves for 30 hours; the food stamp challenge. The people who chose to do this could only eat $3 worth of food each day for about 3 days. I chose to do the actual famine, which had much more of an impact, I think.
But thing that upset me the most is that 29,000 children die EVERY DAY from hunger and all we care about is the future President and Britney Spears. Seriously, one dollar can feed one child for one day. Thirty dollars could feed a child for a whole month.
I'm just saying. This is something I feel strongly about and I want to help change it. 29,000 is way too much.
