I
believe in a world without poverty. I believe we can all make a difference. Now
I'm putting my beliefs into practice by living on $2 a day for five days.
Live Below the Line, is an amazing challenge that raises awareness and funds for an
end to extreme poverty.
By accepting the challenge, I will be spending only $2
on my food each day for five days. In our world, there are 1.4 billion people
who live on this amount or less each day. And so I accept the challenge for
them.
Here’s
a brilliant video that explains how Live Below the Line works.
Personally,
I love the approach of the Live Below the Line challenge:
- To encourage personal awareness through experiencing a taste (or rather lack of...meals are pretty bland) of what it is like to live in poverty.
- To create so many conversations about extreme poverty and what can be done about it.
- To raise funds to assist people to help themselves out of poverty.
If
we all work together, we can make a difference in this world!
So
as I plan my menu for the rest of the week, I encourage you to take the time to
think of those living below the line. I know I will.
If
you would like to support me, you can head to my fundraising page to donate. Thank
you.
