30 Hour Famine: Part 1
About a week ago, I participated in the 30 Hour Famine Camp which was organized by the peeps in my school. Well, the main organizer is World Vision.
What was it like? 30 hour without food was not too bad. At least we got to drink water! The organizers were also kind enough to conduct lots of activities which took our minds off the food.
Here is living proof that I participated!
Like I mentioned just know, thank God we were allowed to drink water.
The 30 hour started off with some group activities. We were given tasks to do like creating our group banner and even come up with a cheer.
My group was named B.A.L.L.S. which randomly stands for Be Always Loving Like Santa...??? Hei, it was my group leaders idea! But who cares, I thought it was funny.

After that, we moved on to do some pretty cool stuff. We had to build a shelter! The given materials were a stack of newspaper. a roll of tape and anything that we could find. This group did a fairly good job on their shelter.
Here is MY group. The only thing I can say that is if we were hit by a storm in real life, chances of us surviving would be really low.
I enjoyed this post very much...looks like you had fun in the midst of something very hard to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteThis was potentially a good activity to have people become aware of the tragedy of famine.
ReplyDeleteBe Always Loving Like Santa?
How about:
Be Aware of Losing Lives by Starvation.
OR maybe... If you're loving like Santa, you would help people who are suffering from famine?
Hmmmmm.....
Good for you for participating, Stanley.
This was a great idea. I can't imagine being REALLY hungry. More people should do projects like this to get them to thinking about what others experience.
ReplyDeletethis has gotta be one of your most entertaining posts visually ang narratively, and i enjoy this so much. thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteyour blog becomes one of my favorite blogs today because of the really good shots that you're able to capture.
ReplyDeleteJess, glad you enjoyed it. Yes! I did had fun despite the heat =)
ReplyDeleteKay, yeah your acronym totally makes more sense! HAhahah....i thought the name was weird too.
Julie, its not THAT bad really. Most of us stuff ourselves prior to the camp xP
Lawstude, thanks so much! I really agree with you. This actually is actually held nationwide in my country. Perhaps you could somehow organize one next year!
Dong, WOW THANKS!
Looks like lots of fun, Stanley and for a good cause! I've been missing out on the 30 hour Famine event many times. Looks like I'll have to participate in it when the opportunity comes. Thanks for sharing with us! The photos are really good and I love the BALLS drawing.
ReplyDeleteAlice, thanks lots for dropping by. You should join next year lah! HAhaha...the drawing idea was totally random. We had a bunch of crayons and just started drawing!
ReplyDeletethat was pretty cool idea... it shud be done again & to other people to involve...
ReplyDelete30 Hour Famine Camp sounds like great fun and what lovely pics to documenting it - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great end to your week :-)
Hey thats cool and funny.. 30 hours without food, WoW!!!! After the camp got finished, what the gave to you people? Nice one and good experience too....
ReplyDelete30 hours without food!? cant imagine myself doing that especially now I am pregnant!!
ReplyDeleteits cool world vision is organizing activities like these. helps people empathize with poor folks who are starving.
Zhoe, yeah it was pretty cool despite the hunger. You should organise one at your area in the future =)
ReplyDeleteRennyBa, a great weekend to you too! It was fun just chillin around with friends for 30 whole hours.
Selerines, we actually got some cereal to eat. My school provided some additional snacks like bread and chocolate xP
Wendy, you should join in the future! When you're not pregnant of course. They are kind of strict with health concerns and only encourage "healthy" people to join. You need to eat for your baby =)
