This year will be more fun than ever, because thanks to the Strike we’ve got awesome quests, videos and random fun things for you to do on your Famine Profile. Each time you complete one of the Strike’s quests you’ll get energy points!
II. WHAT R U GIVING UP?

III. COLLECT DONATIONS
Remember, the 40 Hour Famine is about raising money for people who are suffering from chronic hunger. It’s a great cause, so don’t be shy in asking family and friends to support you with a donation. Nervous about asking for donations? There are some
tips here to help you out.
All donations must be received by World Vision by 30 September 2011.Remember: Don’t wait until after the 40 Hour Famine weekend to collect your donations. Keep an eye on your Famine Profile to make sure the money is coming in. You should try to collect your donations before the 40 Hour Famine weekend so your fundraising thermometer remains up-to-date on your online Famine Profile.
