Mt Pleasant School is super excited to support World Vision and the 40-hour Famine this year. We know how important is it to take action and get involved when we know things aren’t right in the world. This year, we are challenging our Year 5 - 8s to give something up for 40 hours.

8 - 10 June > Our goal is to raise $4,000!

The 40-hour Famine is all about showing the world that we can make a difference, even though we are kids. We can fundraise by doing the traditional ‘no food’ for 40 hours or doing a ‘rice only’ diet for 40 hours. If you have sport on or can’t do the no eating part, you can also choose another challenge. Some ideas are:

• The backpack challenge: Pack a bag and this is all you use for 40 hours. Start Friday night at 6pm and see how you go! Forgot to pack clean undies? Too bad ;)

• No technology for 40 hours: Choose a 40 hour time slot and no screens.

• No talking for 40 hours: I bet Mum and Dad would love this one!

• Swim 40 lengths of a pool: Or any other physical challenge that has 40 in it! Remember, it needs to be a CHALLENGE for you - the more challenging it is, the more likely people will be to sponsor you!

Once you have decided on your challenge and got your whanau permission, bring this form back on Monday or Tuesday next week and exchange it for your Sponsorship Booklet in the shared space at lunchtime. You can also raise money online! You will find MPS online here.

Then start spreading the word! Tell people what you are doing and why. We know we can reach our goal!
