This time, it's personal!

The slogan for this year's World Vision 30Hour Famine.



Hunger and poverty are two things that I'd consider myself pretty passionate about. I'm also a fan of the work of World Vision. So, you can probably see why I'm a fan of the 30hour famine.


Will you please consider sponsoring our hunger?


We, along with a fantastic crew of youth, are trading 30hours of our passion for 30hours of their hunger, in an effort to connect those who want to help to those who need the help. No donation is too small. Would you please consider donating $5? I'll e-mail you our address...even feel free to take off $0.54 for postage and we will still put you down for $5! But, just so you know, only donations over $20 are tax receiptable.

This year, it's personal for us because of "Phearady's Story". It is a heart wrenching story about a little 11-year old girl in Cambodia. She lives in Phom Pen's slums and works for a brick factory. When we were in Cambodia, I was able to visit slums near her, and the impact of that trip was huge. When we were in Cambodia we also built a chapel out of bricks identical to the ones Pearady works with. Maybe Phearady made those bricks we used, when she 'should' have been at school. Life isn't fair.
