I just couldn’t believe when my brother and Rachel announced they had signed up for the 30 hour World Vision Famine last year. For registration, students and senior citizens contributed RM100.00. Others RM150.00.
Funds collected were channeled to five charitable organizations.
· World Vision Vietnam Ba Thuoc Area, Development Project
· World Vision HOPE Fund
· World Vision Malaysia Children Development Fund
· Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled
· Persatuan Kristian Shuangfu
Fasting started at 12noon on Saturday (15 Sept) until 6pm on Sunday (16 Sept). Equipped with a bedroll each, they joined their friends at Bukit Jalil. Mum and I were worried. Did he bring along his overcoat? Did he eat before checking in? Would he faint? He had never gone without food before. And God bless, both of them succeeded.
Lots of programs were organized to keep the participants from boredom and the awareness of hunger. The 5,000 odds participants were grouped up with a team leader overseeing their supply of mineral water and games activities. You need not worry if you do not understand English, the programmes were translated in Mandarin too. Local artistes were roped in to entertain them for the night.
They had a fun time there. They just drank lots and lots of water to sustain their hunger. At the end of the famine they were given a bottle of mineral water and a piece of bread.
Both of them look forward to joining World Vision this year. Good for the world and good for a charitable soul.
