The Hong Kong 30 Hour Famine 2011, an annual fundraising event of World Vision, was held on 16 and 17 April at Aberdeen Sports Ground. With the support from Victor and William Fung Foundation, 3 Hong Kong based Fung Scholars, together with three thousand other participants, joined this meaningful and enlightening event.

In the 30 hours, the participants experienced hunger in order to feed and care for kids suffering from famine in different corners of the world. Not only did the Fung Scholars raise funds to help children suffering from hunger in far-away countries, but also gained personal insights in the process. Through role-play game and sharing session by guest speakers, Fung Scholars learnt the common physical needs and felt the psychological dilemma faced by people of developing countries.

Though the event has ended, the spirit of 30 Hour Famine will continue. With the seed of love and contribution sowed in the participants’ hearts, the impact of this event would last for long!
