DAY 5 - Live Below The Line Challenge

Thank you!!!

Day 5 - I have completed the Live Below the Line challenge and have so far raised nearly £300 for Malaria No More UK so all the hunger, tiredness and dizziness was well worth it!!!  Thank you for everyone's overwhelming support over the last 5 days. My week has become less about what I was eating/drinking and more about the lack of life choices and the isolation it caused. It made me realise how fortunate I am but sadly from tomorrow 1.2 million people will continue living on just £1 a day for everything (health, education, food, transport etc). It's hard to imagine.

DAY 4 - Live Below The Line Challenge

Dinner- egg friend rice with frozen peas and cabbage

Lunch - plain pasta and tomato sauce

Breakfast - 30g plain porridge

Today I had plain porridge again for breakfast (getting quite sick of it now), plain pasta and tomato sauce for lunch and egg fried rice for dinner which I was thinking about since 3pm this afternoon! Last day of the challenge tomorrow but sadly not for the 1.2 billion (nearly 20 times the population of the UK) who live on less than £1 a day for everything (health, transport, housing, food, education) not just food and drink. It's hard to imagine. I really do hope that one day soon we achieve the Millennium Development Goal no 1 to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Currently 1 in 8 remain hungry. Hats off to all the other 25,000 people round the world you have taken up the challenge this week. It's been tough but certainly worth every second of it!

Millennium Development Goal 1 - Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

A good short video from Restless Development which puts it into perspective.
