I will feature anyone who helps these people!

"Internationally, the Extreme Poverty Line is defined as US$1.25 a day – the equivalent of $2 in Australia. 1.4 billion people in our world currently live below this line, lacking the basic choices and opportunities that most Australians take for granted."For the remainder of the week, I will be living on less than $2 a day, to help raise awareness of the quality of life for Cambodian children.
You can do your bit to help by donating here: http://www.everydayhero.com.au/hero.....l=wendy_warren
"Just over 30 years ago Cambodia was ripped apart by a war and genocide that left millions dead and destroyed the social and economic fabric of the entire country. Cambodia today is yet to recover with one in three people living in extreme poverty. Education is critical in enabling Cambodians to lift themselves out of this cycle, but the devastating reality is that over 85% of young people don’t even start secondary school and even then the quality of school education is extremely poor."http://www.everydayhero.com.au/wendy_warren Please have a read of this, and consider contributing if you can.
It would mean the world to me.
For every $50 raised one kid will receive a schoolarship and get important education which will help them and their family fight their way out of poverty. And they will have a chance to live a decent life, where they wont die of starvation and wont have to become prostitues at the age of 14, or even as low as 8 years of age JUST to feed themselfs and their little brothers/sisters (many of these kids are orphans)
If you donate, please let me know and I will feature you!
It is a worthy cause.
Cheers.
EDIT: I ensure you all, this fundraiser is NOT putting my health at any risk. I have thought it out, and planned ahead just to be sure that I can do this thing sucessfully. I am passionate about this cause, and I want to do my best to help.
Please, if you feel that my heath is in danger, just think of the people I am trying to help- they live in FAR WORSE conditions than this and deserve your attention.
sorry about that... XD

From all of the fundraisers combined we've raised $320,000, we are hoping to turn that into $375,000 during this last day. With that extra 50,000 they will be able to reopened a school that's been closed for 15 years, through the Oaktree Foundation's work in one of the most remote and poverty stricken parts of Papua New Guinea, they will have enough to reach 50,000 Australian school students and empower them to tackle extreme poverty through the Global Poverty Project's presentation 1.4 Billion Reasons AND have raised enough money to build and renovate over 20 school buildings, provide 480 scholarships for disadvantaged students and train almost 100 teachers in one of the poorest regions of Cambodia.
Exciting, isn't it? :3

I don't think my class mates will have the same oppinion as you do- Being hungry all week has made me anti-social and impatient with everyone. I've been quite the bitch these past 5 days xD
