famine 30::


In Hong Kong, every year there's a campaign call "Famine 30", which is organized by the World Vision. At that day, thousands of people gather around to suffer to feel to experience famine for 30 hours. It not only for donating money, but also remind us the hardness of hungry. This year we have more than 5000 people took part in the campaign.
Part of them are singers, artors and celebrities. Finally, they did something meaningful to the community...
I was once joined the campaign, so unforgettable. The first few hours we just played group games, watched vedios.......but after lunch time...dinner time, OMG....my stomach was awfully painnnnnn!! everyone around me looked so tired.....i wondered how could we survive for the next 20 hours??...but at that moment i can really understand how the south aferican children suffering when there're nothing to eat....even clean water. Well it's just 30 hours....they may have 30, 40 , 50 years.......In Chinese, some body said,[as long as it's not me, i dun care]*事不關己己不勞心。
Everyone is like that. However, if nobody wanna "help", what would the world like?...we live in a wealthy environment with all material satisfied, but there're more than one third of the world are suffering famine and more importantly, every 7 seconds, one child died from it.
So what? I think everybody know the fact but just keep ignoring it. I think the first thing could do is to educate ppl, make them alert....and to treasure what they r having now.
Dun no y....i just feel so sorry for them n really wanna help them. however there're somebody joined the "famine 30" just for fun or for free concert.......n they quited in the middle....they r so annoying n extremely shameful. ....i 'm not that warm hearted but just only wanna express my own feeling.

Very noble sentients.
Compassion is the greatest virtue and the hardest to acquire.
After three days of fasting you don't feel hungry.
Must try and do that again soon!
