Do the Famine!!!

I know this is a food blog and about eating. But to eat you have to have money to buy food with and that's why I do the 30 Hour Famine! The 30 hour Famine is a ministry which is put on by world vision. It is a opportunity for church youth groups to raise money for starving children in Africa, Haiti, Japan, and many other suffering countries. You get to do service projects in your local community and tons of awesome contests while you raise money for kids who might get 1 meal a WEEK!!!
True Facts about Hunger!!! 
Hunger Facts

FACT: Hunger kills another child every 10 seconds.

Every day, nearly 8,000 kids under age 5 die because of hunger-related causes. Some starve. Some get sick — and their hungry bodies are just too weak to fight.

And that’s not the half of it. In all, more than 24,000 kids lose their lives each day, most of them to poverty, disease, and, yes . . . hunger.

The biggest tragedy? Almost all of these deaths are absolutely, 100% preventable.

FACT: More than 1 billion people go hungry every day.

There are more than 6 billion people on the planet. One in six will go to bed hungry tonight.

Why so many? For some families, the only food they have is whatever they can grow themselves. One drought or flood can wipe out a year’s harvest. When it does, there’s no supermarket or food bank they can turn to.

Others can barely afford food for their families, despite their best efforts. Either way, hunger is anything but yesterday’s problem. For 1 billion people, it’s a problem right now.
