CTAAASh Young Americans Hunger For World Of Change (NAPSA)—Each year, 29,000 children around the world die from hunger and hunger-related diseases. Now, American teens are answering the call of a world in need through a hunger-fighting program that lets them experience whatit’s like to go without food. Annual hunger-fighting fundraiser feeds the needsof children worldwide. The World Vision 30 Hour Famine is a unique way for teens to get a taste of what hunger feels like—and to learn that their actions can ease the suffering experienced daily around the world. By pledging to go without food for 30 hours, teens raise money that goes to World Vision hunger-fighting programs in the United States and abroad. During their fast, the teens make a difference in their local communities with service projects that they perform as ateam. Spending time focused on the needs of their local neighbors helps encourage them to consider the needs of their global neighbors. Last year, more than 600,000 young Americans—in over 15,000 youth groups nationwide—helped raise over $8 million to fight hunger. You can help support their efforts this year by making a secure donation at www.30hour famine.org. Funds will be used to tackle the root causes of hunger and poverty in Peru, Tanzania, Afghanistan and the U.S. Teens who wish to participate should call 800-7-FAMINE or visit www.30hourfamine.org.
