World Vision 40 Hour Challenge
I will be eating only a cup of rice, and a few spoonfuls of porridge each day for 40 hours starting on Saturday the 21st June. I have chosen this particular challenge as this is what 90% of children living in Kiribati (a small island in the Pacific region) typically eat each day. I wanted to step into the footsteps of these children and gain an understanding of what their lives are like.
I am doing this to raise funds to help families in the Pacific farm climate-smart crops and plant mangroves so they can feed their children in a changing climate.
In the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids is living in severe food poverty. We have the luxury of living in a country where we have unlimited access to nutritious and delicious food. These children do not have this luxury.
Please donate to help raise funds to help give these children a new start. Anything helps!

I have, as of 7am this morning, completed my 40-hour famine. I ended up only eating 1 cup of cooked rice (1/3 cup dry rice), and skipping the porridge.
