UPDATED APRIL 2025
Hello everyone just a quick update!
I have finally begun my fundraising as of today ( May 1 2013). So far i have raised £62! I am happy with the progress, it has only been a week and i have raised £62 from 5 sponsors!. It is far from my £800 target but it is closer as it lowers it to £738!
As you can see the banner on this post says live below the line, this line is the poverty line. The challenge is to live below £1 a day for five days mine starts today (May 1 2013) and ends on Monday (May 6 2013). It is a challenging task as i cannot eat anything out of my £5 budget for these five days. As daunting as it is, it also reminds me that this is the reality for some people. Everyday is a new challenge, how to make £1 feed the household. People all over the world including this country UK experience such harsh realities and it is unfair, we need to make a move on poverty to end it! This should not be happening in the day and age especially in 2013.
I have chosen to donate my funds to Restless Development a charity that is youth led and is in partnership with ICS a UK government run program that recruits volunteers to make a difference in their communities. With this event i hope to raise £200 in sponsorship, donations will be open till July, so please may you click the link and hit the donate button. It will help me out a lot thank you!
