Hello guys.. wats up?

I was starving for the last 30 hours... not because I am bankrupt lol... but because of the 30 hour Famine hosted by World Vision in countries around the world.

I don't know how many of u know about it... but participants remain without any food for 30h... u have water and juice and one bowl of rice... during this the participants collect money to poverty-stricken communities.

I finished the famine and now I'm eating Pizza Hut... but I was talking to my friend... and I was like I hate this.. I feel like im going to fall to the floor. I wasn't hungry but the idea that food was all around me was soooooo annoying and I felt to soo weak and my stomach stiff.

I said I hate this feeling and really wish I could do something about this..I mean this is what millions of ppl have to go through EVERY SINGLE flippin day and I can't stand it for jus 30 hours and I constantly had fresh water, 3 glasses of juice, and a bowl of rice... the poor don't even have that.

I was really touched and I was like my hope is to take the poor in one slum and completely transform their lives.

My 2 questions for u are... are events like this really that effective and impactful or jus another stepping stone for ppl to show they are involved in their communities???

and also.... that dream I have created, millions of others have similar dreams... but do u think that dreaming helps in reaching the final goal... or do u think dreaming is just a waste of time and has no role to play when u finally accomplish ur dream?????

I would reallly like ur views!!!😃

The impact is when hungry irritated people complain about it so that others can find out about such events and the cause they supported 😛 For example, you just advertized in DM to everyone such as myself who was clueless 😆 Now I will look up for what you talked about !

BTW, many congrats and 👏 for the sacrifice for a good cause and may God bless you! 😃
