Reflection

The skills I gained through this project was how to express my thoughts through blogging. I also gained  independence through this project and I also learned to organise my time efficiently. The project all together was a success as I gained an understanding of what many must be feeling in developed countries. It may not be the same thoughts as them but I can still relate. I am really proud of myself as I did something out of my comfort zone and I did something that means a lot to me as I have a strong passion on changing poverty and hunger. Although I did use my time efficiently I wished I didn't waste as much time on doing nothing so I can put more research into my project.

24 HOUR CHALLENGE: COMPLETE

I HAVE DONE THE 24 HOUR CHALLENGE!!! WHOOP WHOOP! RAISE THE ROOF! ;)!
The hardest part of the 24 hour challenge is the temptation. The temptation of having the food that is laid out for the rest of the family that you have to restrict yourself of having. When my family was having dinner, they were having Japanese and my sisters were trying to annoy me by making faces on how good the food was while I was outside. Another temptation was technology! I texted a few friends to come over to keep me company just beforehand and I was so curious if they are coming or not or if they have replied. Also, my absolute favourite movie... The incredibles was on and I was like... I WANT TO WATCH IT :'(. The thing I wanted most of all was to go inside, to the air-con, to the heating, to my furniture etc. It is not fair that others have to experience the hunger I felt in one day. It is not fair that they need to support families. It is not fair they have no choice. This experience was one day. This experience is just a preview of poverty and hunger. Now I imagine what it must be like for them every minute of every hour of every day of every year. We as a society need to change this. We have the resources, all we to do is raise the awareness and join together to make a better life for these people and a better world for everyone.

The 24 hour challenge is soon coming up! I am getting nervous for some reason. I know it will be hard but to what extent. Will it change my opinion of poverty and hunger all together. In a way, I kinda feel lame saying this to a open public who can at anytime come around and look at this blog. I can get anxious because of this, what if one person comes across this blog and will be like.... OMG this is the WORST blog about poverty and hunger! Like ZOMG! Well, I guess the most important thing is that I tried raising awareness of the situation! And, I really hope all the viewers that do look at this, are motivated by this and tell their friends. The more people that do something about this, can help stop poverty and hunger for good.

            I was looking up one word on google; poverty and these are some photos I found.

It has been decided that on Saturday 10th of November, I will commence the 24 hour challenge! It would start at 1pm! I am very excited to test out my experiment and see what the outcomes are! I really want to encourage anyone to do this, maybe on the same day, or maybe any other day because I think that this will help you understand what life must be like for them! It may not be the exactly what people living in poverty and hunger may be going through everyday but I guess this is the closest it is going to get!
