Today's task with the Summer Learning Journey Programme is "Feast Or Famine" For this activity, we would like to know if you would consider doing a 20 or 40 Hour Famine to raise money for charity. On your blog, tell us whether, or not, you would participate in 20 or 40 Hour Famine. If you have already participated in a 20 or 40 Hour Famine, please share your experience, including why you decided to participate and some highlights and challenges of the experience. To get full points, please provide at least six sentences. Have you ever participated in a twenty or forty hours feminine challenge to help raise money for a certain charity?
I have never participated in a twenty or forty-hour feminine challenge before to help raise money for a certain charity. I am thinking of doing a twenty-hour "No eating food" challenge when I get the chance too. Originally the famine challenge was about giving up food for 40 hours. The aim was to walk in someone else’s shoes, to try to understand what hunger feels like. This is still one of the most popular options! To help complete this challenge ...
- Drink plenty of water, fruit juice or tea. I don’t recommend drinking coffee as it is a stimulant and it will dehydrate you.
- Feel free to eat energy sweets (like barley sugars) occasionally every two to four hours.
- Try to take it easy during the 20-40 Hour Famine weekend. I don’t recommend playing sport or doing too much physical activity while fasting.
- When you finish the 20-40 Hour Famine, ease your way back to normal eating by having something light and healthy, like a salad or fruit.
- If you’re diabetic or have a medical condition, I don’t recommend giving up food as it may not be safe, but you can still participate by giving up something like furniture, talking or TV.

Hi again Bella,
ReplyDeleteAnother amazingly informative blog post. You’re on fire! You’ve included some great tips on how to conduct a safe 40 hour famine as well as how to endure the lack of food and avoid hurting yourself. It’s scary to think some people actually go that long without any sustenance, so it’s a great cause to raise money for.
When I was in high school I did a couple of 40 hour famines. The first one was no furniture which proved a bit difficult, especially at home and at school; and the second one was no technology. Both were big challenges but I was super proud when I accomplished them, and I got to help a worthy cause which was nice.
If you did a famine, what would you give up for the 40 hours?
Perhaps you could add a link to the website for your readers so they know how to get involved.
Keep up the great work!
