Lucy P

Hi! I'm Lucy and I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. For this year's 40 Hour Challenge, I'm going to cut out all devices (including phones, smart watches, TVs and computers) for 40 hours. As a Gen Z who's grown up around devices, I've had very little time when I haven't had access to such convenient technology. However, those who struggle in the Solomon Islands with food, farming and finance very often lack convenient resources such as devices. Therefore, by cutting out my own access, I hope to experience just a slice of their struggles and gain a more thorough understanding of just how important this cause is. By supporting me, you're supporting hundreds of hungry islanders and also helping me to learn a humbling lesson on how much I am addicted to my devices :)
