hey folks, ok lets cut the chit chat! i have been doin the famine for an odd ten years with no trouble. THIS YEAR...they decided that the only way that people can donate/sponsor is via credit card. i think this is stupid. however, if you do own a credit card and are kind enough to wish to sponsor me for this troublesome 40 hours i will be undergoing, please, go ahead!!!
just follow this link https://famine.worldvision.com.au/famine.cgi?a=SPONSOR_ enter 670588193 as the famine participant number and fill in the details.
if you'd like to make a seperate donation, participate in the famine, sponsor a child, or anything else that tickles your fancy, then this one is the link you want http://www.worldvision.com.au/index.asp
just $40 can help feed 6 kids for a month - give what ya can - CHEERS!

My school had a 40 hour dance off instead of the famine to raise money for World Vision. They thought that if they chose something fun to do for forty hours it might draw more people to do it. I guess you aren't really able to see what the starving kids feel like by dancing for forty hours, but it was still great fun and we raised lots of money.

What an amazingly generous donation i reckon that this will feed those 6 kids for 2083 years.
I myself am not as generous but i suppose its the thought that counts
have fun for those 40 hrs of starvation ksan

so where does this money get distributed?

THANKYOU FOR YOUR DONATION PETER PAN! and for your potential donation vivy ;)
i think the donators get to chose where they want it distributed. is that right guys? i know thats the way it works for individual donations. i think the sudan crisis is the main one at the moment but tsunami crisis and stuff aswell. look at the webbie.

39 hours and 5 minutes. its been suprisingly easy this year. i think i'll start early every year. since i usually only eat out of boredom, i get my cravings on the saturday, but when i'm at school i dont really notice. -oh but the smell of popcorn at work last night was soooo....ARGH!!!!! one of the best batches i've ever made and i couldnt even have a taste test. :(
kerrysan
