When should I fast?
The official Famine weekend is from 22nd to 23rd August. We encourage you to fast from 12pm on Saturday, 22nd August so that we can all break fast at 6pm the following day (at the Famine Countdown event). If you are unable to fast on 22nd August, you can choose to fast for 30 hours any time BEFORE the official Famine weekend, and then come to the Famine Countdown for a celebration! top
What do I do during my fast?
It is entirely up to you. You may request for educational materials from World Vision and use the time to learn about global poverty issues. top
Where do I fast?
You are free to fast anywhere as long as you complete at least 24 hours before coming to the Famine Countdown. top
What happens at the Famine Countdown event?
The Famine Countdown event will be on the 23rd of August 2009 (Sun), from 12pm to 6pm . Together, we will count down the last 6 hours of the Famine, reflecting on what we have learned, sharing our experiences and enjoying a star-studded celebrity showcase. top
Will T-shirts and break-fast meals be provided?
T-shirts will not be provided. Given the current economic climate and its impact on the poor, World Vision has decided to channel the funds saved from t-shirt printing towards helping an even greater number of people in need. World Vision will provid break fast drinks for those who attend the Countdown. top
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, you will get it at the Countdown event. top |
