Presentation School Begins Preparation for its Third
30 Hour Famine
Nearly 40 students attended the 30 Hour Famine information meeting. For this world renowned community service event, students fundraise through World Vision to help feed, cloth, educate, and provide health care intervention for underprivileged children around the world. For only $35 a month all these service can be administered to a child. That's only $420 a year!
The famine will occur on April 25-26th. Students will begin their fast at lunch at school on Friday, April 25th. The participating famine group will stay at school, including overnight, for the next 30 hours, learning about the challenges of poverty in South America, and how we can make a difference. For a portion of the event we will be in the community doing community service. This is a powerful and impactful event for our youth. We will break the fast (famine) together with a meal on Saturday evening at 6:30pm. If you would like more information regarding the 30 Hour Famine, you may contact me at twalthard@presentationschool.com; our student team captains, Natalie Gulrajani at ngulrajani@presentationschool.com; or Hannah Porter at hporter@presentationschool.com. We would also love to have you visit the website, www.30hourfamine.org.
