WHAT IS IT?
How does it feel to go hungry? One in eight people in the world know all to well. By giving up food or something else that really matters to you for 40 hours, you can raise money for World Vision to help kids living in poverty overseas.
World Vision is Australia's largest charitable group, helping over 20 million people every year with support of over 400,000 Australians. They provide emergency relief and work for long-term community development projects to help people move towards self-sufficiency.
GIVE UP
To bring hunger down on the 15 - 17 August OR if you would rather do it on a school day, it can be before or after this date!
