This year the 40 hour famine weekend is from the 7th to the 9th of June and it’s all about choosing your own famine.

Your child can do anything between 12 to 40 hours, sacrificing something that they live with everyday. Some examples are;

No sleeping, No eating- or only rice, No technology, No furniture- or no bed, or sleeping outside…. Maybe No talking. They could choose something crazy like “Singing everything instead of speaking” or “Working out for 40 hours!”

If your child is really motivated, they could sleep in a box, in a tent, living out of a backpack, and only eating rice. The sky's the limit! The money raised is for South Sudan, to provide food and water, safe spaces and foster care for the children affected by the ongoing civil war. Your child will receive a booklet for collecting sponsorship.

They need to collect sponsors before the famine- either from family, friends or your neighbours- people can even pay online this year! We will be collecting the booklets at school afterwards, with the money, but there will be more information on that after the famine. Let’s focus on raising this money, to help the children who have been robbed, in the war of South Sudan.

Thanks,
