40 Hour Famine

By Samantha Kirk | Posted: Tuesday June 14, 2022

World Vision's 40 hour famine is coming up!

The World Vision 40 Hour Famine is New Zealand’s largest youth fundraising campaign. Traditionally, the 40 Hour Challenge meant going without food for 40 hours. However, over the years, people have become creative, finding fun new challenges such as giving up screens, furniture or technology for 40 hours. Or how about living out of a backpack, doing 40 good deeds, or taking a 40-hour vow of silence – whatever your idea is, just go for it! 

The official weekend for the 40 hour famine is Week 9 of this term: Friday 1st of July at 8pm until Sunday 3rd July at 12pm. However, if that weekend doesn’t suit you you can pick another one. Casebrook's goal this year is to raise $5000. So far $792 has been raised which is incredible!

Students participating will raise money to help children in need, have 5 Casebrook Challenges signed off, and receive a free non-uniform day on Friday the 1st of July.

Our 40 hour famine leaders this year are: Adarsh Rijal, Ben King, Sam Kong, Awatea Waretini, Hannah Richmond, and Fox Johnstone. If you have any questions you can ask them or Miss Kirk (skirk@casebrook.school.nz).
