Thanksgiving Day – Youth Fighting Hunger Around The World

November 24, 2011 By Shae Pepper Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving youth workIt’s Thanksgiving Day in the US and Americans all around the world are celebrating with a huge feast (yes, yes, you can start all the American eating/food jokes now). I love spending the day with friends and family, being thankful and enjoying all the traditions that come with this holiday.

But there are people all around the world – both Americans and non-Americans – who are hungry today. Who don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. Today we put a Spotlight on Youth who have been impacted by and made an impact on famine.

World Vision provides an opportunity for youth around the world to raise money to help end famine. The 30-Hour Famine is a weekend of activities and fasting to learn more about famine and to raise money to make a difference.

Take a few minutes to read about where hunger exists around the world. You can also read about a group of youth who raised over $5000 for Haiti.

World Vision can be found around the globe through their international offices. No matter where your youth are, you can participate in a 30-hour famine of your own. Do you think the youth in your program might like to get passionate about famine this Thanksgiving? Learn more about famine and plan your own 30-hour famine.

Question: How do the youth in your programs help the hungry? We’d love to hear about the impact they’re making in the comments below.
