• Madeline 22 Aug

  THE 40 HOUR FAMINE IS AMAZING!:) I GAVE UP TALKING & MY THUMBS, I SLIPPED A FEW TIMES ON THE TALKING BIT , BUT I TOTALLY SMASHED NOT USEING MY THUMBS!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO PARTICEPATED IN 40 HF, & ACHIEVED THEIR GOAL;]

• Madeline 22 Aug

  I AM STARTING 2 THINK THAT I NEED 2 CHOSE SOMETHING ELSE 2 GIVE UP NEXT YEAR. OH WAIT, I GOT IT!I WILL GIVE UP (DRUM-ROLL).... SIGHT!

• Sarah 22 Aug

  Well done everyone, you are all superstars!!! I gave up food, furniture and telecommunications (sort of technology). I was walking home from church when it was 12:00 and then I literally slammed some cake into my face! Food has never tasted so good. . . It all made me realise how lucky we are here in Australia and it helped me appreciate what I had. I can't wait to do it again next year! But even though the 40 hour famine is over for us, it is not over in third world countries. They need all the support they can get! BTW, Bhavana, I'm not sure the answer to your question but as long as the money goes to third world countries, it doesn't matter if you've signed up for school or as an individual. Once again, good work everyone!

• Christi Forster 22 Aug

• Tilly 22 Aug

  WOW! Awesome experience! Food sweet Food! It's amazing to see how much we depend on it. This morning I instinctively got up and poured myself a bowl of cereal before realizing that I was in the middle of 40 hour famine!

• Maisie 22 Aug

  Well done to everyone who did it!! Feels so good to have completed it! I gave up furniture, it is much harder than you think, very sore!! I only sat on the sofa once, just habit!! Can't wiat to do it next year.

• Nige @ 40 Hour Famine HQ 22 Aug

  @Bhavana - Sounds like you made an Individuals page, rather than a Group Member page. Email service@worldvision.com.au and include your Participant numbers and everything and we can check it out for you. @Christi - The Certificates will be available to print via the Awards page from tomorrow morning. If your Group Members have lost their books, include a note of the book numbers that have been lost when you return the other books to WVA.

• griffdogg 22 Aug

• Bec 23 Aug

  And you know what? we're so lucky! Even after going hungry for 40 hours, afterwards we get to stuff our face and these people don't. World Vision is truly amazing! DO THIS EVERY YEAR AND IMAGINE WHAT WE COULD ACHIEVE. I LOVE WORLD VISION.

• Maddie 23 Aug

  Wow! That was so amazing... I gave up sleep for 40 hours. My friend helped me stay awake... although it was hard when she fell asleep! haha. :) definitely doing it again next year and i'm going to continue raising money through out the year. :)

• Maria 24 Aug

  This is honestly my first experience and I can happily announce that it was a painful, yet successful event! Indeed inspirational! :) I love how everyone attempts to make you give in, ^^ making it feel as a game, but what a relief it was to finally eat and talk after those what seemed like never-ending hours. Our basic necessities in life are taken for granted; even when there are so many people around the world who are struggling to survive every day. It's sad and the statistics are there to prove it. This experience has helped me to appreciate life to the fullest, as well as to treasure my most prized possessions in life :) Count me in next year! Trully inspiration! Thank you for opening my eyes. I am truly grateful for everything I have been blessed with and hopefully we can make a difference in out world, even if it's just a small step.

• Suzette 25 Aug

• Kliopeace:) 15 Sep

  WOW!! even though i was still really sick i got through it just imagining as much as i could to be a person from a third world country throughout the whole thing. Man! it's get's harder the more things you give up! ooohhhhhh!!! feel so sorry for all those out there:( it is a relief and is heaps fun to be doing something for the world out there even if it was only for a short amount of time. WOW!! so happy i did it. I gave up food technology and furniture:) this is an amazing event and it may be short but consider the time and effort put in creating a great donation result then like me you will be amazed! :P <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 them!
