World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

World Vision 20 Hour Challenge

Hi! My name is Elijah and I’m taking part in our school World Vision 20 Hour Challenge to help kids in the Solomon Islands get enough food to grow up healthy and strong.

In the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids is living in severe food poverty. Together, we can do something to help. The money you donate will help families to farm climate-smart crops and plant mangroves so they can feed their children in a changing climate.

For my challenge I’ll be having only rice and bread for my food within 20 hours  to experience a lil bit of what it’s like to have limited food. 

Would you consider donating $10 or more and join us to  provide food for those in need? Any amount would be greatly appreciated . ❤️

Thank you!

Thank you everyone for supporting me in the 40 hour challenge! I have learned that the kids in the Solomon islands have very little food and options compared to what we have in NZ!!! Experiencing hunger for the first time was hard. I can’t imagine what it’s like for many kids who live with hunger everyday. Thank you for giving to provide food for families in the Solomon Islands! Elijah

Beginning to feel the hunger … and desire for normal food :)

Sunday 15th Jun
Had a piece of plain bread for breakfast…. Then after church first thing he said with desperation…“mummy I’m soooo hungry, is there any toast for me?”… After waiting a bit we eventually got home and he had a piece of bread and a bowl of white rice with a bit of fish sauce. And by 2pm Sunday he finished his 20 hour challenge having a bit more understanding and perspective of what other kids go through.

Started with plain rice then added a bit of soy sauce for dinner while everyone else had a nice warm Filipino soup with rice for dinner.
