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.
