30 Hour Famine

I've recently taken part in an event called the 30 Hour Famine sponsored by World Vision.
Basically, it's a fundraiser and an awareness-raiser where you starve yourself for 30 hours (hence the name) for programs that run in the Third World.

The 4 programs are:
-Food
-Water
-Education
-Safety

One of my friends organized the event so it would take place at the school and we`d sleep over and play games and bands would come and play for us
Since it`s my last year of high school, I thought it would be a cool thing to do so I signed up.
Starving for 30 hours actually isn`t as big as a deal as everything thinks, it`s not too bad either. But according to one of my friends, I don`t eat so it doesn`t affect me anyway (which isn`t entirely true, I eat alot, just slowly...). You`re allowed clear liquids so I promptly drank twice my body weight in fluids so I wasn`t feeling particularly hungry.

I thought this was a good cause to do and it isn't caught up in controversy either like Invisible Children (what with dodgy financial records and one of the co-founders caught publicly doing his thing and another co-founder on a youtube video drunk, talking about pocketing $10 million bucks)
But the thing is I didn't really get a good idea of how widespread this event is, I kinda felt like it was isolated to the group of people who stayed at the school was doing it even though we saw 4 videos that showed how large the event had become, featuring celebrities and other kids.

So I`ll just run down all the stuff that happened:
-Presentation on the 30 Hour Famine
-games in the gym (involving icebreakers which kinda got awkward after a bit, but Ì`m in Key Club, awkward icebreakers are practically built in when you go and meet the other Key Clubbers)
-Bands (Oh Hello, Felicity and Fintan, Leisure Suit (best local band ever) and Aivia)
-Sardines/Bang
-Movies
-Sleep
-EAT

My favourite local band, Leisure Suit came which is awesome, I went fanboy and screamed to my heart's content. That's right I screamed...like a 5 year old girl...not going to hide it
They just make the most unique sounding music ever and it's so chill
I just want to lie back, relax and forget all my worries and stresses
I'll just casually toss the link to their bandcamp here:

But overall, I had an amazing time
Something that I won't forget for awhile

P.S. that was alot of writing but i've been putting this off for awhile so w/e
P.P.S. the hiding spot that I picked for sardines looked perfect for 1 person but after 5, it got iffy, not going to lie
