Are you doing the 40 hour famine? Well some of our Pt England students are doing the 40 hour famine and so is other people all over the world. The reason why we are doing the 40 hour famine is because we wan't people in Malawi to have all the nutritious food and water that they have been wanting for a very long time. Did you know that people in Malawi don't have books, tables, nice houses, fresh water and food. Their houses are made out of mud they don't have real toilets and it doesn't really rain over there. All they have is nothing their world is filled with sadness and we are wanting to change that and put it all in the pass. Only 1.8 million people are currently being affected by the food crisis.
There is this girl and her name is Naphiri. She is a really pretty girl that love s to help people and she has a lot of cool dreams that hasn't really come true. She loves to read and also loves studying maths. Her favourite sports are netball and her dream is to become accountant. She wakes up every morning at 4.30am and walks 2km to collect water for her family. Then she has to help on the farm sweep out the entire house and has to look after her baby cousin and before waling another 2 hours to school. Naphiri has three siblings there names are Nethel, Frank and Charles, everyone is affected by malnutrition due to nutritious food. Their family's get given just $3.80 a week which goes between all 6 people.
So wouldn't you want to save all these people in Malawi and give them what they need? Well to help them all you have to do is sign up for the 40 hour famine and try and to get more support from other people in your family and save these wonderful people. They might not have the food that we have and the fresh water that we have but they do have a lot of dreams and wishes and we are going make them all come true by giving them nutritious food.

Hey Lizara,
That was a awesome story about Malawi. You really know what Malawi is going through. Also it is very sad because they aren't as lucky as us New Zealanders are. Keep up the great and awesome work.
