Keeping in mind the millions of children around the world who go without food every day, Corry youth put aside hot meals and snacks for 30 hours this weekend to gain some perspective and raise money for the hungry.
Members of H2O student ministries, a youth group at the First United Methodist Church, have been participating in World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine event for two consecutive years.
This year, 20 teens participated and raised about $3,000.
“That’s enough to feed eight kids for one year,” said Rhae Brown, a youth leader for H2O. “World Vision states that it takes $1 a day, $30 a month, or $360 to feed a child for a year.”
According to its Web site, World Vision is an organization found around the world working in relief, development and advocacy for children, their families and communities dealing with poverty and injustice.
Corry teens have been fundraising throughout the month in preparation for the event. In addition to car washes and benefit dinners, some students who were not able to participate in the famine also collected pledges.
The famine began Friday at 12:30 p.m. and ended Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Youth members were permitted to drink water or fruit juice during the 30 hours.
