30 Hour Famine Experience

Part A
During the preparation of the 30 hour famine event, I had 3 roles. The first role was Juice Collector. I collected juice for the 30 hour famine and made a record about it. Since the beginning of April to the 20th, I collected juice and wrote the names of the people who donated and how many juice boxes they brought for the event. In addition, I also contributed 21 juices boxes. The second role was poster making. On April 15th, I designed a poster advertising the 30 hour famine and all the events that were going to be host during the 2 days. I posted the posters around the school. The third role was homeform visits. I wrote the script with Yuki on April 15th. We went through the upper A-wing promoting the event and asking for donations.
During the event, I was involved in the dessert sale on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st. Yuki and I did it during lunch at the cafeteria. On Thursday, we sold the cupcakes that I bought two days before. On Friday, we sold the mango panna cotta Yuki made.

I could feel how poor people felt in a daily basis such as experiencing stomach aches, headaches, feeling dizzy, tired and hungry. They felt all that while they worked and study, and I feel that I would have never understood how they felt until I actually experienced
