- The biggest food crisis... ever!
- Me, Myself, and I
- Do the 40 Hour Famine in 2009 on August 21-23, raise funds and bite back at the Global Food Crisis.
Every $40 you raise helps to feed and care for 5 children for 1 month.
The Global Food Crisis is into its second year... and you probably didn't even know it.
In the past year, over 100 million more people have been affected by a food crisis. Reckon that means no ice cream in the freezer? Think again!
For many it means just one small meal a day. Sometimes it means no breakfast, no lunch, no snacks, no drinks, no dinner. Nada, nothing, nought.
Children are suffering as families and whole communities struggle to feed themselves.

Get a Widget!
Hey Famine fighters,
It's time to share some 40 Hour Famine widget love on your Bebo account!
Head to:
http://40hourfamine.com.au
If you're a GROUP LEADER or INDIVIDUAL - go to 'Log-In' and it's in the 'Book Management' section.
If you're part of a GROUP - ask you're Group Leader to send the code to you.
Once you get the code, you'll need the FlashBox App on Bebo to paste it into, but once you've done that you're sweet.
Let me know when you've got it live.
Cheers,
Nige @ Famine HQ0 Comments 115 days
