40 hour Famine. Do Something Real! 15-17 August 2008
Homepage

Choose your challenge

The Famine’s not only about food! Going without another of your basic rights makes a big statement too. Choose to go without something that really matters to you:

  • Food Famine. No food for 40 hours (8 hours if you’re at primary school).
  • Turn Off Technology. Turn off your phone, TV, radio, computer … everything electronic for 40 hours. It’s harder than you’d think!
  • Furniture Famine. Go without furniture for 40 hours, which means you have to eat and sleep on the floor!
  • Working Weekend. Do household chores all weekend for no pay or pocket money, and with no time for play.
  • Get Creative. Come up with another of your own ideas, or brainstorm with your Group Leader.
