Wow, I can speak again. After 40 hours of silence.

It's such an amazing experience to lose something so IMPORTANT and something that we just take for granted.

$40 (AUD) will feed 5 children in poverty for a MONTH. That's $8 a month per child, imagine, in today's world, what just $8 would get us. It wouldn't feed us for a DAY, yet alone 30 of them. And yet children go starving every single day of their lives because we're just that greedy. If everyone just gave ONE DOLLAR, just one, then we'd eliminate poverty from a few countries in Africa. To completely eliminate poverty, it'd only take a few billion dollars, and yet, we can't extend ourselves to that, the government spends at least double that amount every year on roads, etc. Things that we could do without.

So I hope that more people will do the 40Hr Famine next year, you don't have to give up food or anything, just something, to make you see how important things that we take for granted really are, because somewhere out there, there is a child who doesn't have sight or hearing or speech and never will because we just can't give a dollar.
