Hungry For Hope!

On the 15th of September 2007,
The West Malaysia 30-hour Famine had officially started...
Participants of this event reached over an amazing 5500 which made this 30-hour famine the most successful!!!
The participants' age ranges from the youngest of an 4 year old to a blossoming 70 year old...
Plus, this year marks the 10th aninversary of this event being held in Malaysia
and the 10th year of World Vision Malaysia!!!
That is why this year's event is so much more successful...
This year's event is also in both English and Mandarin for the first time!!!

This educational cum fundraising programme has spread to World Vision offices across the globe.

Participants forego solid food for 30 hours. This can be done individually or together with other participants in the Famine Camp organised by associations, offices, schools or religious institutions.

During the 30-Hour Famine Camp, participants are acquainted with the world-wide humanitarian work of World Vision, how emergency relief operations are managed, how poor communities are enabled to break the cycle of poverty, and how ordinary well-wishers can help people in need.

The programme is conducted through mini-talks, video presentation, and simulation games. There is fun, a spirit of togetherness and serious thought. At the same time, much-needed money is raised to fund World Vision emergency relief operations and development work in poor communities. The 30-Hour Famine is a kind of "Fastathon", like a Marathon, or "Walkathon" or "Spellathon". Participants invite family, colleagues or friends to sponsor their 30-hour fast for a good cause.

Funds collected are channeled to help World Vision bring emergency relief and long-term development to needy children and families, both domestically and internationally.
That is why you have to go for the next year's event, make a difference, save lives around the world.

Good cause, good fun, great people! What more can you ask for?
