20 Hour Famine : Part 2, Game Night

When me and Tyla arrived we rushed quickly off to the library. That's where everyone was. We put our bags down and waited until Ms Tele'a came. She soon arrived.

"Ok, you guys are going to go in the ICT room" she said. We were waiting for a girl from the World Vision. While we waited we had to visit the World Vision site or post a blog post. We walked quietly down to the ICT room and found us a computer. We had to be in pairs. I wasn't in one, so I got the whole computer to myself, for a while. Suddenly Gloria came. We were now partners. I wrote a post. Soon everyone was huddling around Litia and Vivvienne's computer. "I wonder what their doing?" I said to Gloria. "Let's have a look" she replied. We walked over to their computer and had a look. They were playing on a website where you would take a photo and then edit it to make it look all funny. Their's was hillarious! A few minutes after that the lady came. When she arrived we got into 3 groups. Then we walked to the hall.

There she gave us our village names. Next she told us what our health and all that stuff. Our health came second out of 3. Soon it was time to play our games.

First was a course. We had to jump over a bread carton then crawl under some chairs the stand carefully on a chair while spinning then turn back, walk over the chairs and then jump. That was the first game.

The second game was a hunting one. We had to run around the hall loooking for rice. It was FUN! In each team one person had to be the mother while the rest of us seeked rice. No one managed to fill the whole cup. I mean it wasn't that big.

Finally the last game was a team game. We all had to work together. Each team got 3 feet with questions on them. The challenge was to be the first team to get over to the other side of the hall. for this challenge we did pretty good. I can't remeber who won though. The trick was 2 people per trip. In the end we did it.

Soon it was time to go back to the library. There we watched some little clips about who we are doing this for. After that it was time for the lady to leave. After she left we watched Hook. When it finished it was time for bed.

"Time to wake up!" yelled Mrs Tele'a. It was time to pack up and get all our stuff together. Once we did that we headed out to the breeze to wait for our parents. I had FUN!!!

20 Hour Famine

A variety of people all round the world are particapating in the 40 hour famine. Tonight kids are here at school to discover what the other kids from the other side of the world have to deal with. We are going 20 hours with no food. We are also here to fundraise some money that will get donated to them. Another challenge that my friends and I set for ourselves is to try and not talk! It's been nearly a whole day and we haven't really succeeded. Some of us are really hungry.

Over on the other side of the world people don't have clean water and barely have enough food. So they are always hungry and thirsty. Most of the food they get are the food on the ground. Plus they can catch diseases from the food on the ground. That means they might die. But that isn't even half of the problem! Sometimes they have to eat raw food to survive and some of the food are rice. Have you ever had to eat raw food!? Well these people sometimes have to eat food to survive. Did you know that every day a kid dies! Well what would you do if you lived somewhere where you only got food 2-3 times a week. For Me, Horrible!

Well now you have got an example of what it would be like living with no food." Go hard out for the Hungry!"
