I think we went 24 hours, at camp. During the fast, we played a long role playing game based on world events where we could earn points - more points at the end meant more food at the post fast dinner. Some kids naturally earned far more than others. However, at the end the leaders sat everybody down and asked if that was the ethical thing to do - and the group decided to redistribute the points equally, and everybody got the same at the dinner. One of my fonder memories, actually. Yeah, let me know where to send the check. And tell the kids they are doing something worth while, and in fact may actually change the course of someone's life. It is often the smallest things that make the biggest differences. I did this too as a teenager (yes, I went to church as a kid). I think we went 24 hours, at camp.

How great! And to fast as well, as a reminder of what so many people in our own country and around the world feel every day. You're right, going hungry will be tough. Kudos to you and to all the kids participating. Let me know where to send the check. A good point from Janeice. One of the reasons she's a "smart chick." “For I was hungry and you fed me…” How great!

A good point from Janeice. One of the reasons she’s a “smart chick.”

Feeding the hungry is <em>good thing,</em> regardless of who's doing it. Where do I send the check, and who do I make it out to? P.S. This fasting is being supervised by a medical professional, yes? Shawn, I’m in. Feeding the hungry is good thing, regardless of who’s doing it.

Where do I send the check, and who do I make it out to?

P.S. This fasting is being supervised by a medical professional, yes?
