A Famine for Uni Students

For more than 34 years, millions of Kiwis have been fighting injustice through the World Vision 40 Hour Famine and so it's become something of a Kiwi institution.

With the global financial and food crisis hitting the developing world hard, we've decided to "Raise the Stakes" and introduce the Uni Famine. It's easy, it's all online and it's a great cause.

So this is your chance to do something to help. Get a group of mates together, register and then choose your famine. There's the classic No Food Famine, Technology Famine, No Talking Famine or whatever Famine you can think of!

To stay informed about the Famine at your campus, join World Vision on Campus on Facebook. There are groups for Auckland, Vic, Canterbury and Otago Unis.
