Melissa and Octavia on the Famine Study Tour

Youth just like you are seeing their friends and families die from hunger - 26,000 every day, gone for good, 14,000 just from hunger and malnutrition alone.

They're counting on you to care.

Will you care? Life is busy, but will you make room to care for someone else? Starve for Food!

FAST BEGINS 12PM FRI 24FEB

FAST ENDS 6PM SAT 25FEB

= 30 HOURS

Focus: A "hungry" person who experiences the uneasy or painful sensation caused by involuntary lack of food which over time may result in malnutrition. Hunger affects more than 1 billion people world-wide. 22 countries suffer from high levels of chronic hunger; defined as more than 30% population undernourishment. Countries such as Eritrea, Niger, Comoros, Haiti and Liberia are particularly affected. For more facts click here.

Purpose of Event: To raise students’ awareness of hunger across the world and how following Jesus Christ calls us to respond because of that awareness.

Concept: Students will voluntarily experience hunger for 30 hours.
