Are You Ready?

The Day of Hunger is tomorrow. Are you ready? Hundreds of people will be participating across the globe - we've got people from India, Germany, and more. Participants also hail from a big portion of the United States as well as good old Canada. If you had doubts about how widespread this is, here you go!

Each of you are very different in your experience with hunger. Some will find it nearly impossible to go without food for 24 hours. To you I say - don't give up! Because of my religious background, I've done this thing before, and I can promise you it's a exceptionally uplifting experience. To those who have been forced to endure intense hunger before - thank you so much for your participation. If this effort can help even a few people, it'll be worth it.

A reminder to all: Day of Hunger starts at midnight tonight (your time or my time or whoever's time you want) and goes until the following midnight. Write the amount of your donation on the wall of the Facebook event or email dayofhunger@gmail.com so that we can keep track of the amount raised. Then, go to the website of the World Food Programme and donate the money that you would have spent on food (and any extra donation you feel able to give). For those who are concerned, this organization has been taking measures to assist the victims of the disasters in Japan. You're also welcome to select another hunger-fighting organization of your choice.


Thanks for all of your efforts to publicize Day of Hunger! Fliers, posters, and even cupcakes have been distributed in several locations by helpful participants. Sidewalks have been chalked and announcements have been made. We couldn't have done it without you. I look forward to hearing some growling stomachs tomorrow as I go to work and class . . . maybe you guys will mask mine :)
