40 hour famine - Sponsor me to starve myself for the Global Food Crisis!

Hey guys, I'm going to be doing the 40 Hour Famine this year!

For those of you who don't know, the 40 Hour Famine is an event held by World Vision each year in which we have to give up something which is important to us for 40 hours, have people sponsor us all to raise money for countries affected by the global food crisis.

So the Global Food Crisis is a serious problem affecting many nations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It's from the explosion of the index price of food, and now about 1 billion people are unable to survive. Many families will go a day with no breakfast, no lunch, and most of the time no dinner either. They have to survive on scraps they can find from already harvisted fields, or go fishing/hunting for what they can find, if they can find anything to eat.
Each day over twenty-five thousand people die from malnutrition/starvation in the countries affected by the Global Food Crisis.

So, our population is about 6.7 billion people right now, and 1 billion are affected by the food crisis. So we're pretty close to one in every seven people being affected by this. And what's alarming is that it's growing day by day. Since March about 300 million people have fallen into this category.

So on the 21st of August I'm going to be giving up food, furniture and technology, all for this cause (done by World Vision).

I am looking for sponsorships, so please, if you are interested in making an online donation PM me! Donating online is perfectly safe and your personal information will not be disclosed to anyone except for World Vision.
I would post the link to the donations page here but due to restrictions put in place by the staff for safety and whatnot you'll have to PM me for it.

I have a goal to raise $2000. As of this evening I've got $303.30, so I'm on my way!

 

My school's doing it as a group but we all have individual booklets. I've nearly finished my second book lol.

 

They announced it at assembly. And it's ironic because right before the World Vision guy who visited went up on stage I had gone up to tell the school about our Amnesty International group and we were like "yeah Amnesty isn't about getting a lot of money and dumping it in countries for aid" and then the guy from World Vision came up and well.. Yeah lol. It looked like we were competing or something with the way we said it lol.

 

;_; No one interested in helping?

 

Sadly, having my friends piss themselves laughing at me not being able to stay glued to my phone is one of the only ways I can get them to actually donate money to something. =/
