40 Hour Famine reflection

On Friday night we had our 40 hour famine. We did this at school . The whole point of this was to raise some money for the people that are living in South Sudan. The things we were fun rising was to make them have house, food, clean water  and education. Some of the people living there have had devastating things happen to  them in their life.

We also had a boy named Cam who came to our school. Cam talked to us about why we are doing this and that we are doing a huge difference. There was one  story that he told us about. He told us that there was a girl. I can't really remember but she had a terrible story. Cam told us that there were soldiers at her school. As soon as she saw them she ran to her house. When she got there her parents and her sister were gone. He also told us that she had to decide if she was going to stay or go. While she was doing that the soldiers were coming closer and closer.So she ran outside. He told us that it had took her four days without any water and food to find a home. After that she had found the place. They welcomed her like family. What was the sad part for me was that she has not seen her parents and sister in two years. Cam also said that he and two other friends actually went there and they learnt new things about
those people.So the last thing he told us was that we can't change the past but we can help them in he future.


This is me doing my blog post about the 40 Hour Famine

Here is the beginning.

I came to school at six o'clock and I saw Julianna and Kristopher setting up there beds. What I brought was two waters and two packets of barleys sugar. I had also bring two juice packets of just juice. After my mum left my friend Suade walked in with his gear for the night. After 20 minutes Mrs Lagitupu said to me, Cherish and Julianna if we want to come to be the first to go and play in the hall for 5 minutes.

Before we carried on Mrs Lagitupu did the roll call. The red team was Bethan, Jazhara and Marika.The blue team was Roman, Suade, Kristopher, Hendrix, Austin, King, Lenix and Lelofi. The green team was all the year six's which were Jane, Oail'ii, Sauma and Eva. Now my group was the yellow team and it was me, Julianna, Aye-myat and Cherish.  The leaders were Bethan, King, Oail'ii and Julianna.   

Here is a picture of the 40 hour famine team.

When she opened the door we all just ran for the big yoga balls. While we were playing the rest came and we all had a mega huge dodgeball game. It took us quite a while but we did. When it hit 8 o'clock Mrs Lagitupu told that we had to do our item for the dance show. Hey by the way we had Stevenson, Ha'are and Wylma for our helpers.

We did a game of rock,paper scissors to determine  of who will go last and first. Julianna won so we went last.The boys went first.The red team were scond and the green team were third.


We only had 45 minute to do it. It was a lot of fun doing it. I hope I an d this next year because it is so much fun to do it. I hope that you can do it too because it is really fun.
