| What is the 30 Hour Famine?
The 30
Hour Famine is a World Vision program that allows young people
to make a significant impact on the problem of world hunger. By
pledging to go without food for 30 hours, participants not only
raise money to help alleviate this type of suffering, but also
gain an understanding of how it feels to experience hunger. It
is our hope that this experience, combined with a greater
awareness of the suffering taking place in many parts of the
world, will inspire young people to compassion and a greater
desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
