30 Hour Famine

I went to this thing last weekend that was called the 30 hour famine. What we did was fast for 30 hours and learn about the struggles many people have around the world with hunger, and not having enough to feed themselves. We slept outside in cardboard boxes to get a teensy little slice of what its like to homeless in San José. We walked 2 1/2 miles to get our water and carried it back, like people in some countries that have to walk miles and miles every day to get their water. But I have to say our experiences don;t even compare with those of people in developing countries. I really learned a lot though.

Wow, this program sounds very interesting. The conditions that some people are in nowadays is mind boggling. Nothing can compare to all the dangers they face when they are all alone outside.

Wow that must have been physically and emotionally draining. Undergoing what you and others put yourselves through must have really touched your hearts though I bet.
