Of course, if you can’t do it that weekend, you can choose another 40 hour period – just as long as you’ve done it, and collected all your funds, before 30 September 2011.
* If you’re in primary school, it is advised that if you choose to go without food, you do so for no more than 8 hours. WORLD VISION AND
THE 40 HOUR FAMINE
World Vision Australia started the 40 Hour Famine in 1975, for the purpose of raising money to help children, their families and communities in desperate need.
36 years on the 40 Hour Famine is bigger than ever. Each year around
300,000 Australians take part.
The funds raised every year by the 40 Hour Famine continue to support World Vision’s work
tackling the causes of poverty, through both short-term solutions and long-term development projects.
The 40 Hour Famine is also World Vision’s
community awareness event for young Australians like you!

ABOUT THE 40 HOUR FAMINE
The 40 Hour Famine is one of Australia’s biggest community awareness & youth fundraising events. It is a powerful – and meaningful – way that Australians can experience what life is like for children who have to go without. Every. Single. Day.
The 40 Hour Famine is a chance to do something real.
By giving up food or something else that really matters to you for 40 hours*, you can raise funds for kids living in poverty overseas. And you can make a massive difference: $40 can feed a family of five for a month.
So, R U ready to do the 40 Hour Famine?
The Strike is!
