40 Hour Famine

I have had the pleasure of organising this year’s 40 Hour Famine for interested students in Years 6 -8. The 40 Hour Famine is where you give up something for an amount of time to raise money for those in need of food, water and shelter in Bangladesh. The event was run over the weekend of the 22nd of May – the 24th of May.

This year the famine options were:
·      Eating Rice and Water only
·      Skipping modern comforts (sleeping in a cardboard box)
·      Being Device Free
·      No Talking

There were 20 registered participants from Tauriko School and at this point we have raised $650 – there are still more booklets and sponsorship money to come in.
If you are interested in making a direct donation to this great cause here is the link - https://www.worldvision.org.nz/Portal/famine/search.aspx?q=Tauriko

A big congratulations to those who did complete the Famine, it is an awesome event to be involved in and all for a great cause.
