How does it work?

Before your "Famine Date" (February 22-23, 2008 is the next National Famine Date, but your group can hold yours ANYTIME) raise money through donors and sponsors to help children in some of the world's poorest countries. The groups then go 30 hours without food, so that they can have a real taste of what hunger is like. The money raised is sent to World Vision put to work in areas like Malawi Peru, and North Korea.
