I thought these images were stunning. As we've been talking about, the Tsunami has raised not only questions about God - who he is and why this event happened - but also about what we as a lucky group of people can do to help. The 24 hour famine is a great idea you guys came up with...It's something some of you already did last year, and had a good time educating the church and raising a lot of money for villages without water in certain parts of Africa. This year we'll help the Tsunami victims by contributing what we can to a meaningful cause.
So here are the details: be patient - I'm calling some other Youth Groups around Paris to see if they'd like to be involved in the same project. But, as it currently stands, we'll all meet up on a Saturday afternoon and have an overnight with games, activities, movies, etc. you name it, and then we'll break the famine the next day after church...
But the important thing is to raise money by taking your sponsorship form around to people you know - your dentist, boulanger, or teachers and friends.
One question: In the UK, the 24-famine is focusing on HIV/Aids this year...Do we want to support that cause by creating awareness for it, or do we want to support the famine? Just a thought...people are already pretty aware of the problems in South Asia, but maybe less so about orphaned children? Let me know what you think...
first of all it was my idea for the 24h famine, ( that has nothing to do with what i want to say) i think we should support the victims in aisia, although it is hard to choose beacause these causes are both very important. anyway see you on sunday...
