40 Hours, 4 Challenges, 3 Goals: Hope, Awareness, & Community
Last year, Freddie & Kiran participated in the 40-hour challenge, raising a total of $1438—every cent counts! We also gave hope to those suffering in Timor-Leste and spread awareness to those around us. This year, we're aiming to go the extra mile and do even more for children in the Solomon Islands. Our combined goal is to raise $1500, and we truly hope you can help make a difference in their lives by supporting us through this challenge.
We’re planning to make this year’s challenge much more intense than last year's. We'll still be spending 40 hours outdoors, but this time, we're adding 4 additional challenges to represent essential needs. Here are the details of our four intense challenges:
40 Hours Outdoors: We’ll spend the entire 40 hours outside, with only a tent, sleeping bag, and mat. During this time, the only reason we’ll go indoors is to use the bathroom.
No Luxuries : For 40 hours, we’ll live without any luxuries—no cars, no technology, no medical attention, no schooling, and even limited clothing (we’re only allowed 7 clothing items each).
Limited Essential Resources: We’ll have a total of 40 litres of water to share between us, with no food. However, there’s a catch: we’ll have $40 to spend on food or anything else we may need during the challenge.
Community Service: We’ll also be completing four community service activities. We plan to involve the school with a special event, a small tree planting, a fundraiser, and one mystery activity (we’ll keep you posted on what it is).
We are so grateful and so very appreciative for your support, and we can’t wait to see the amazing results we can achieve together for children in the Solomon Islands!
